Thank you!

OT here cancelled the consult FOUR times, said they don;t do that. Same with PT. The PT I usually see saw the consult when it was resubmitted and scheduled me in bc he said if his boss had seen it, it would have been cancelled bc VAMC does not do ergonomic recommendations.

That is a matter of opinion. I couldn't find anything on how to actually get a counselor to follow the rules of the program, just a list of the things that Ben was able to get as a social media presence who happened to have met the director ofVocRehan at the time, Ruth Fanning. I am looking for info on where to find the regulation for getting an ergonomic chair. My employment handicap is back related and I cannot sit in a normal chair long enough to hold a regular job. My voc rehab counselor is saying that there is no such provision in Chapter 31 for such things as chairs, desks and the like. I have seen numerous stories of people getting them, but if I can't prove to her where the program regulations say it,I'm basically getting nothing and she has said that in not so many words.

I am trying to get an ergonomic desk/chair setup due to severe employment handicap. My voc rehab counselor says she has never heard of such a thing and she does not even know where to find a regulation on that. Just wondering if anyone has successfully gotten one and had some tips on ho they did it. It seems to me that should fall under special equipment, but want to make sure before I send her back the info cc her supervisor, regional director, and probably my congressman since she feels like it will take "months" for this to be approved :if she can figure it out" I'm in online classes, so they can't say the school should accommodate it. She first told me I need a note from my doc, so I managed to get the physical therapist to make an exception for me and write a recommendation, then she said it HAS to be an MD, and stated she wasn't even sure how to process. Any help would be appreciated.
