I was very surprised because I've used the same letter for years and never been questioned about it. The woman from HR sent me a PDF form that needs to be filled out by a physician or rehabilitation counselor. I have three questions for the list:

Do I have to become a client of the state agency just to get a Schedule A letter, even if that's all I need? If I find a counselor to help me, do I have to be their client?
