I looked at the DANTES web page - looks like its open to all DoD employees to include active, guard and reserve.

I was told last Friday that veterans have to pay and hope to be reimbursed by the VA so I guess that Veterans do not count.

Does every applicant for a national test need to have filed an original claim for benefits?

Yes. Every applicant for reimbursement for a national test must have filed an original application for chapter 30, 32 (or sec. 903), or 35 at some point and have been found eligible.

Is there a particular form that I must submit to receive reimbursement for a national test?

No. The best way to claim the benefit to submit the following:

1.a copy of your test results and
2.a signed note or a signed VA Form 21-4138, Statement in Support of Claim, stating that you are requesting reimbursement for the cost of a national test.
The following information is required:

•Name of the Test
•Name of the organization offering the test
•Date the person took the test
•Cost of taking the test
•A signed statement authorizing release of your test information to the VA
General Rule Regarding Receipts: You do not normally have to submit a receipt or proof of payment for the cost. However, in certain instances, it is necessary to submit this evidence. These situations are the following

•DSST Tests (DANTES Subject Standardized Tests)
•Certain situations regarding the CLEP, MAT, and PCAT tests
NOTE: if you cannot provide a copy of the test results, request duplicate test results from the testing organization.

1. Please do not reply to older posts like this.

2. Please have your facts available and know what they are before you reply.

3. Veterans do count - I read your other post and replied to it. You failed to read/learn the rules for the program you were entitled to. This is no ones fault but yours.
