They’re dishonest, and they leave everything up to the client. They mislead me, and had me pay out of pocket for rehab tech, over 1K.

When I asked for my money back. They closed my case. I got my case reinstated, but now my counselor wants me to get more proof of my diagnosis’s.

They have all the documentation, and an SSDI letter, and yet all they can do is quibble over my disability status. A status that has been substantiated over 4 times. It doesn’t seem right.

I have to go to mediation to retrieve my money, and It’s a big old mess. I can’t help feeling that, it would’ve been so much easier for everyone involved if they just did what they were being paid to do. It all seems counter productive.

There’s also some seriously messed up stuff that they disguise with spin, and blame a lot of things on the client. The extent of their abilities seems to be placing people at Walmart and retail venues.

I also think they would benefit from hiring more qualified people. My counselors worked as yoga and ski instructors, probation officers and they have no business contacts in the community.

There are no peer associates working for HireAbility VT. The whole thing is a nightmare.

There’s so many issues, I feel uncomfortable/exhausted talking about everything I’ve experienced; for people that are supposed to be assisting person’s with disabilities. They seem to be intent on making things as difficult as possible for folks to get help.

No one knows who runs what, so if they mess up, they’re never held accountable. There are 3 CAP counselors in the whole state to mediate cases, and they seem to be defending HireAbility and not the client.

My current CAP councilor shows promise, but it’s hard to tell. VCIL is marginally more helpful for grant information. I would pick their brains about grants.

Good luck.
