[nabs-l] Voc Rehab tuition assistance

[Suzanne Germano]

Hi Melanie

I would start with a letter requesting the addition amount iwth the reasons
why. Provide as much information as you can. If you get denied start the
appeal process. I had to file an appeal to get something covered by VR.

And $300 for books? That's crazy. I have that for single courses.
