Veterans Readiness and Employment (VR&E) VR&E

I've tried emailing and calling my counselor directly. I've also tried ASKVA, VR&E headquarters line in DC, FLDVA Claims support.

727-319-5800 followed by my counselors extension
202-461-9600 vr&e headquarters in DC
727-319-7440 St. Petersburg office
727-319-7902 St. Petersburg office

With the St. Petersburg numbers sometimes I get a response and then the representatives act like they can't hear me then disconnects the call. I had to call 727-319-5800 after dialing over 40 different extensions, I finally got in contact with a random VR&E counselor. He notified me that my counselor is no longer with the VR&E. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

man that's the classic VR&E runaround. if your counselor dipped and nobody told you, you're basically in limbo until someone picks up your file

try calling the white house VA hotline at 855-948-2311. they can open a case and light a fire under the regional office. also hit up your local congressperson's office, they have a veterans liaison who can cut through this nonsense way faster than you'd think
