(a) Placement in “discontinued” status. If reentrance from interrupted status into a program of special restorative training is not approved under the provisions of §21.3306, a counseling psychologist or vocational rehabilitation counselor will place the case in discontinued status.

(b) Notification. In any case of discontinuance the Department of Veterans Affairs will:

(1) Notify the eligible person of the action taken, except that if the eligible person has a guardian or has not attained majority under laws applicable in his or her State of residence, VA will notify his or her parent or guardian (see §21.3021(d)) of the action taken.

(2) Inform the eligible person of his or her potential right to a program of education, except that if the eligible person has a guardian or has not attained majority under laws applicable in his or her State of residence, VA will inform his or her parent or guardian (see §21.3021(d)) of the eligible person's potential right to a program of education.

(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3501, 3543(b))

(c) Effect of discontinuance. An eligible person who has been placed in discontinued status is precluded from any further pursuit of special restorative training until a Department of Veterans Affairs counseling psychologist or vocational rehabilitation counselor in the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Division determines that the cause of the discontinuance has been removed.
