Can the GI bill be used to fund medical board specialty exams?

From VA Pamphlet 22-90-2 concerning the GI Bill:

"You may receive benefits for approved tests required for a license or certification. You can't receive benefits for other fees relating to a license or certification. (However, many courses leading to a license or certification are also approved for benefits.)"

"You may take as many tests as you need. You don't have to pass the test to receive benefits. You can receive benefits to retake a test you failed, and to renew or update your license or certificate."

"You can receive reimbursement for the cost of the test, up to $2,000 per test."

For reimbursement, send the VA a copy of your test results. Attached a note or VA Form 21-4138, Statement in Support of Claim requesting reimbursement. Include

- name of the test you took
- name and address of the organization issuing license or certificate (not necessarily the organization that administered the test)
- date you took the test
- cost of the test
- your signed statement "I authorize release of my test information to VA."
