[nabs-l] Slow Acting VR Counciler

Sun Jul 31 21:53:20 UTC 2011

Hi Beth,
I just reread your message and you said CO DVR; I missed that when hearing 
with jaws somehow; probably since its one syllable.

Yes you should have a case in CO  where you reside.
I'd say if they move too slow, talk to a supervisor of the office. Also 
document your communication.
I think there should be a VR manual of rights and responsibilities for each 
state. Read it and find out their procedures for opening cases; it should 
outline the appropriate time line.
Good luck.
Ashley

I'm waiting on Medicaid, but have to use my dad's insurance, and
a very high copay.  That's whuat I'm worried about.  I'll
probably spend a lot on a prescription drug this week so that I
can flush the infection out.  I need to be all cured by next week
or the first week of classes.  I also need to figure out how to
get my Pell Grant.  I'm just opening the case here in CO because
Florida is no longer my state of residence.  Doesn't make sense
to have a case in Florida.  Thanks for the well wishes, Ashley.
Thanks a bunch.
Beth

Beth,
Hope you get well! Do you have medicade?
I'm confused. Do you live in Denver and want to go to school
there? It
sounds like your VR case is in florida though. So are you saying
Florida VR
is paying for  your out of state tuition  in Co? Good luck with
your plans.
Oh and going out of state to any center is tough. If your state
has an in
state center, they want that one, even if you select another
better run
traditional center.

Hey, Brianna.  I had problems with DBS not sending me to CCB till
I screamed at them and made them do it.  I was the squeaky wheel
that got the grease, pretty much.  I'm having a problem with CO
DVR acting slow, and I just came down with something serious and
have to go to the doctor.  My boyffriend says he'll meet me at
the bus stop and we'll go together.  It'll be nice because then I
can goo to a doctor.  But I need a checkup because I think I have
a serious infection.  Worst off, I might not go to school till
January becausee I have no money to pay for books and school.
DVR just thought of assigning me a counselor, but I don't know
where they are, and I moved from one place to another.  It's kind
of weird because I sort of know the Denver area, but I don't
travel too often.  So I'm in your shoes, but worse.  My transfer
to the office in Tallahassee from the office in Brevard County
was quick, but there's a problem.  I don't know if Florida will
allow me to go to school here in CO.  So anyone give us both tips
and advice?  Anybody got any tips?  Thanks.
Beth

Hello NABS Members,

My name is Brianna.
I will be starting my first semester at Flagler in 3 weeks.
I submitted justifications for technology to my Division Of Blind
Services office back in April.  Just the other day I get an e
mail
from my counciler saying that I have been apruved for technology
and
funding of my Learning Ally membership.
I thought I had already been apruved and the technology had
already
been ordered.
My counciler can't transfer my case to the office in Jacksonville
until all my technology has been received and she can't tell me
when
that will be.  I need to meet with the office in Jacksonville
soon to
meet my counciler and O&M instructore, and also find out if DBS
will
still cover some of the cost of going to college and also for
them to
find me a reader.
DBS can't tell me when my case will be transfered either.
What should I do? School starts in 3 weeks.

Thank You

Brianna
