I have been fighting to get services  from our state Voc Rehab. Program
and have been woking with a advocate from the client assistance

chooses to ignore a federal policy directive  to provide the services,
It is ok. to know right NOW! my job is basically stable.  Well  the last
meeting I was told by my empolyer that they had commplaints about my
dress at work was to revieling and inapporate.  I don't show anyhing to
encourage a  bunch of rather rude construction workers,  Just an example
in the otehr office  there is a woman who has a peirced tonuge, lower
lip and eyelip,  that is inapproprate in public representing a
business.  Another wears the short/skirts to work at least  4 inches
above her knees, I was told that is in another office and they had
complaints about me,  I have to wear a jacket over my hips and long
sleeves, and neck MUST be totally buttoned and if I go to the main
building a scarf is needed.    That is not good working conditions.

<Kristi,  I found out why I had not heard anything from VR.  Congressman
Duncan sent me the copy of the letter deniying ALL services.

<While  I am aware that Ms. Schneider has recieved some marginal ratings
in the last several years. It appears that her employer is working
withher to improve some problem areas and her job is basically stable.
THis has not bee a reason for us to train a person for another career.
During these days of limited funding, we want to serve as many disabled,
unemployed indiviuals as possible.  For  this reason, we have elected
not to train indiviuals who are gainfully employed. >
