There are two program options for completing the B.S.E. degree in Early Childhood Education: the Initial Certification in PreK-5th grades with an endorsement to teach English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and the Dual Certification in Early Childhood and Special Education.
Generally, here are the next steps to take: 1) File an appeal right away! 1  If you are denied benefits at the initial level, you should appeal as soon as possible (within 60 days of the date on the denial notice). 2  In most states, you do this by filing a special form called a Request for Reconsideration. ( 3 Some states have no Reconsideration phase.
If you requested a BVA appeal, the VA will prepare a summary of the decision to deny you benefits and send it to you. The agency will not do this quickly; it will take several months. When you receive this summary â called a statement of the case (SOC) â you must file your actual appeal to the BVA within 60 days of the date on the SOC. You are required to use VA Form 9, Appeal to Board of Veterans Appeals to file your BVA appeal. You can find Form VA9 at www.va.gov/vaforms. After you have filed Form 9, the VA regional office will transfer your file to the BVA. Again, it will take the VA several months to transfer your file.
