BLUF:
-90% service connected disabled
-Currently have a claim in the hopper for new conditions and increases.
No SSDI and No I.U.
Applied for Chapter 31 Voc Rehab, was denied based on what my Voc Rehab Counselor saw in my medical records. Main question is, are the Voc Rehab Counselors allowed, under HIPPA laws to have access to 100% of my medical records? To be clear, while in the Voc Rehab appointment, my counselor was able to access online all of my medical records and notes from all of my Drs. Also, she had copies of my QTC exam results (which I don't even have), for an ongoing claim which has not been decided yet. For PTSD the QTC DR stand "total occupational and social impairment", which was the main reason that Voc Rehab denied me.
Any help, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

That's interesting. I thought, despite Voc Rehab being for getting jobs, that no one, including tdiu's was refused for school who were disabled. Maybe I was mistaken, but my phcp also thought the same
