Regulations to promote satisfactory con- duct and cooperation The Secretary shall prescribe such rules and regulations as the Secretary determines nec- essary to promote satisfactory conduct and co- operation on the part of veterans who are pur- suing rehabilitation programs under this chap- ter. In any case in which the Secretary deter- mines that a veteran has failed to maintain sat- isfactory conduct or cooperation, the Secretary may, after determining that all reasonable counseling efforts have been made and are not reasonably likely to be effective, discontinue services and assistance unless the Secretary de- termines that mitigating circumstances exist. In any case in which such services and assist- ance have been discontinued, the Secretary may reinstitute such services and assistance only if the Secretary determines that— (1) the cause of the unsatisfactory conduct or cooperation of such veteran has been re- moved; and (2) the rehabilitation program which such veteran proposes to pursue (whether the same or revised) is suitable to such veteran’s abili- ties, aptitudes, and interests.
