wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I am curious what to expect. If anyone has been injured at work and had to go through this what did it include and how long did it take? Was it worth it or just a big brush off?

HAOLE Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Most of the time it is a waste. The program is meant for people that are not really motivated to get back to work. Kind of like having a baby sitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will pretty much tell you everything you need to know about it: Vocational Rehab info I was hurt at work and diagnosed with PTSD and generalized anxiety, so they offered it to me. I pretty much told them to piss off. I think in your case (and mine), it wouldn't benefit you at all and would be a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not very happy when I called and asked them if it was going to be a waste of my time:D. The lady actually got irate and then hungup all in a span of 5 seconds.

BloodRed Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 When my dad got injured at work about 15 years ago, Workers Comp told him if he didn't do it, he wouldn't get paid any more. The courses were pointless and once he did get a job, he only stayed there for about a year before he found something else in another field.
