The Board has determined that the veteran's travel to his training facility constitutes intraregional travel and thus, travel pay may be authorized for initial travel to report to the chosen school for the purpose of starting training, return from school to home where services are not available for a period of 30 days (including summer vacation periods), and return to the training facility from home when payment was made for returning home.
The deciding factor: The regulations provide authority for travel pay under specific conditions, including initial travel to report to the chosen school, return from school to home where services are not available for a period of 30 days (including summer vacation periods), and return to the training facility from home when payment was made for returning home.
