Question
chauncey021
I been having a hard time dealing with Vocational rehabilitation program and hoping to get help some other veterans.
I'm 100% disability for PTSD. I had a lot of guilt and problems coming home from oversea lead me to being medically discharged from the army. I loved being in the military and serving my country. It eats at me being home doing nothing and collecting disability. I feel so many other veterans are far worse then me but are not getting the help or support they need. I spent the last couple years using my gi bill to go to college and get a bachelor's degree of science with a 3.4 GPA. I been job hunting on my own but been unsuccessful. I apply for the vocational rehabilitation program in hope of find work. my counselor never look at my resume or help me apply for any jobs. only recommend I go back to college and work on a master degree. I requested any type of government job or just job with people who are military friendly even non paid work to start with. I was turn down by the counselor and told I need to go back to school I agree I go back to school. Month after month pass I was told to wait and be patient it been 8 month nothing been done no job or school or anything I requested a new counselor nothing been done. I talk with the director of the vocational rehabilitation program today I was told by the director after 8 month of being in the program and have the approval latter that they would not help me find employment and they wont send me back to school. If I really want a Job they find me a job working with people with special needs if I refuse I wont be helped. I said I like different job even guard work anything I was told i can't work because I have 100% PTSD rating. I ask about any program or schooling i can do so i can become employed I was told no and be a waste of tax payers money to help me.
I don't know what going on I spoken with my doctors none have a problem with my working. I'm allowed to work with my 100% rating and even if i was not I would choice to work over doing nothing. I don't know what to say or do at vocational rehabilitation to get them to help me find employment what do i do?
