recently have received calls from alabama to indiana, hawaii to north carolina, and yes even my very own savannah ga. seems when veterans inquire about ILP, VRC's are telling them 'ILP provides stuff like handrails for baths and showers. it's not about providing you with (fill in your own needs here. in my case it ended up being a greenhouse).
at first i thought it was just a local phenom. VRC's were telling that to vets here until they were put on the spot, then they sang a different tune.
but now i'm hearing the same from all parts of the country.
is this being generated from the central office as a means to reduce spending ?????
well here we go again. sacrifice the vets, they won't say anything.....
I FOR ONE AM FED UP.

GAO Report from Jan 2009 - VA VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION AND EMPLOYMENT
GAO Report from Jan 2009
VA VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION AND EMPLOYMENT
Better Incentives, Workforce Planning, and Performance Reporting Could Improve Program http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d0934.pdf
not sure but think the senate vet affairs committee should probably be on the distribution list (appears only House members requested the report). also those Members who are interested in their disabled constitutents. rather than print one i'm going to order one, but their copy is there for the asking. after a quick browse, several stats JUMPED OUT.
page 10 - pie chart that shows 21% of veterans entering voc rehab entered the INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM track jan 07 - may 08.
don't have the #'s for FY08 yet, but the VA reported voc rehab participants for the following years:
FY 07 90,593
FY 06 89,126
FY 05 94,330
FY 04 96,009
not sure but think 21% of 90,000 is about18,000.
IS THE PIE CHART CORRECT?
another VA report shows Independent Living Program stats as:
FY 07 2540
FY 06 2839
FY 05 2693
FY 04 2689
FUZZY MATH ????
either the pie chart should read 2% OR the ILP #'s are about 16,000 short AND if so, the Congressional cap of 2500 ILP cases/year was surpassed.
OOOPS
