ILP waste of time?
Brothers/Sisters, I am completely frustrated with this program and my "counselor". I was disapproved for VocRehab because of the " severity" of my disabilities. 100% schedular. My frustration stems...

Thank you for the responses. I understand I should probably just purchase the mower, mattress & tablet on my own...it would be a lot less stressful. BUT, and there's always a BUTT... I was...

Request a sit down meeting with his boss. If this is denied write a letter to your VARO requesting a sit down meeting with the Director/Manager of the VRE for this particular VARO. Your experiences...

I think you are looking at what the program is designed to do, it is not to grant your every whim. Just because one vet was approved of items you seek does not mean you will. For a riding lawn mower,...

Thanks a lot Brother. I appreciate the info. Well, apparently this kid is right. He finally emailed me the instruction for this program. I suggest everyone who is approved for this vice Voc Rehab to...

Jinx - I would agree with what you said but the items listed were "recommended" by my doctors. Then denied by this counselor. Believe me, every whim is not what I am after. If that were the case I...

Sounds to me like Jinx has nothing of worth to offer this thread. I came on here to get help and specifics on the instruction. If you feel I was being sarcastic with my "every whim" items...then...

Like I said, thanks for the VALID info. Personal attacks for asking questions and giving my experience are not worth my time to respond. Jinx - you have a nice life Brother. Sounds like you got it all...
View ArticleRe: ILP waste of time?
Thanks Jinx...You basically made my point. It should not take all this extra "leg work" to get the benefits you deserve. My claims are VERY organized when I submit them. Believe me, I did my own...

VA called Friday to say much of the proposal I'd submitted is now approved. In particular, I needed an ultra lightweight power chair I could get into cabs and limos, as well as our home cars, and they...

Sounds great SilverWings! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of "bed" did they approve for you? The counselor told me I would have to get a formal denial from the VA hospital to provide a...

Wow... nice! I just purchased a king size adjustable tempurpedic bed... $5500. Would have been great if VA paid for it.

Well, seems as though, even though I have the same disabilities as all of you...maybe worse off, my counselor feels there is "no medical need"....LMAO! I don't know. I'm about to give up on this idiot...
