I could be wrong or outdated in my knowledge of Schedule A, but I don't' believe eligible for VR services is a criteria for a VR counselor or someone in a position to judge your work qualifications and write a letter about your Schedule A eligibility.

Hi, Noel,

I am not presently eligible for Dsb services.  My doc is four blocks away.
If he can't help me (which I should know tomorrow0 I will see what DSb can do.

Can't you get someone at DSB to write up a letter for you under Schedule A?

Hi everyone,

 

I followed up on Noel's e-mail re EARN and the employment opportunity with EEOC.  I sent EARN my résumé as well as my reinstatement letter for DI from Social Security.  It would seem obvious that if I am being reinstated, I have a disability.  However, Social Security does not use letterhead and there was a typed not a written signature at the bottom.

 

So, now I have to get my physician to write a letter on the clinic's letterhead and make sure he signs it so I can fax it to EARN and they can assure themselves I didn't just write the letter myself.  Ah, the joys of bureaucracy!  The job opportunity  may disappear by the time I satisfy this requirement.  

 

Just a cautionary tale for those who are thinking of submitting Social Security documents as proof of Schedule A eligibility.
