If Date of injury is 7/2007, and whatever happens over next year leads to perm. disablility
then can one apply for new vocational training starting 9/2008?

I ask because deadline for application is 10/2007 for the next year's course.

There is no formal voc rehab for any date of injury after 2004. There is only the voucher process. The amount of PD determines the amount of the voucher one may be eligible for, to use for re-training at an approved facility.

The amount of the voucher for the supplemental job displacement benefit will be as follows:

Up to four thousand dollars ($4,000) for a permanent partial disability award of less than 15%.

Up to six thousand dollars ($6,000) for a permanent partial disability award between 15 and 25%.

Up to eight thousand dollars ($8,000) for a permanent partial disability award between 26 and 49%.

Up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for a permanent partial disability award between 50 and 99%.
