I’m torn between ETSing to continue my business and reenlisting for station of choice. If I start the VA claims process and I get a rating before I ETS, will I be able to reenlist if I got an assignment offer I want later ?

You can't actually file your VA claim while you're on Active Duty. You can start the process, but nothing moves forward till after you ETS. Even if you get a rating, you don't actually have an official rating yet, it's essentially a tentative rating.
Also, I don't think they offer that option for ETS soldiers. That's something the VA does MEBs and retiring Soldiers.

A couple of factors you need to take into consideration:. When the ETS is and when you file the claim. A claim packet, from my understanding, takes about a year before an answer is given. Now, as for a rating and reenlisting, I believe it depends on the rating.

One thing to consider also is you can’t receive payment from both at the same time.

Evaluations are separate from filing a claim. Evaluations can be done before your ETS but filing your claim can’t be done until you ETS and are officially a veteran.
