Disability Caucus Update: Exemption

Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Tue, 08/02/2016 - 4:03pm

Last night I wrote about the monthly meetings I was forced to go to for SNAP. Well, at today's meeting I was told I wouldn't have to do this anymore due to the fact that I'm no longer considered 'able-bodied' according to DCF rules. This is how it should have been because I've been working with Voc Rehab for years to begin with.

That's a huge weight off of my shoulders.

See ya around,

Aspie

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

Please be sure to get it in writing. Or the next person could tell you something else.

If you could just send a followup email to the person you spoke with and s/he answers, that should suffice.

That must be a relief.

Good luck to you, Aspie!
