[nabs-l] Getting a Request Denied by Voc Rehab

[Santiago]

Hello, 
I haven't been denied any requests from the department of rehab here in California. I currently have a BrailleSense U2, but I am considering trying to ask them if I can be upgraded to the new BrailleSense Polaris. I mainly use my computer at school though, so having a more compact stand-alone braille display to use with it would be more useful for me.

Last week I contacted my Division of Blind Services counselor and gave her a detailed explanation about the features of the BrailleNote Touch, and how I would use it on the job.  I also stated that I would use it for leisure tasks such as browsing the web, sending and receiving emails, listening to music, scheduling appointments, and reading books using the Bard Mobile app which I successfully downloaded from the Apple app store last week.  I already downloaded my first book from Bard on my IPad.  This morning I received an email from Dbs stating that my request to upgrade to the BrailleNote Touch was denied because I do not have a job.  Have any of you had requests denied by your vocational rehabilitation agencies? Hope to hear from you soon.
