My parents are trying to manipulate me to use vocrehab to get a psychological evaluation to get guardianship of me. I am trying to stop vocrehab from getting a psychological evaluation of me. I have worked plenty of jobs well and I have attached my resume. The military college that I went to my parents have a close relationship with so they couldn't vouch. Lowes I have a good relationship with. The data center I have a good relationship with as well. They could vouch for me. I have a 2.8 GPA from Trident Tech and have gotten references from my teachers at Trident. I am wondering if there is anything internally with the regulations of voc rehab that could stop them from getting a evaluation of me. I have attached the regulations below. This is urgent because I am seeing voc rehab on the 6th. Given my situation I don't think a evaluation is necessary. What should I ask vocrehab to do instead. I also don't think it is vocrehab policy to do a psychological evaluation.

No clue where you're at in the process with vr but It's not necessary. You having SSI makes you caregorically eligible. No other record except from SSA to verify is needed or can be required for eligibility. If VR thinks there are additional disabilities or potential barriers to work they can pay for a psych eval but you have to agree to it. VR cannot make you get a psych eval to participate in services, only for assessment purposes.
Does VR have a release of information to speak with your parents, if so, you can revoke or limit what it released. are they your SSI payee? You have the right to change that if they are. I'm not sure if your age, but guardianship may be difficult especially after becoming an adult.
If at anytime you have questions, concerns, complaints, about your state VR you can call your state's Client Assistant Program (CAP). They can help educate, inform and advocate specifically VR complaints. There are other assistance programs that could be helpful. Go to your state's Protection and Advocacy website....alot of the time they are called Disability Rights -your state-- like Disability Rights Texas.
Hope this helps!!!

They don't want to try supported employment first which according to this is supposed to help a lot better. My counselor is on there side as there friend knows her.

Update they are mandating that I get a psychological evaluation in order to stay in voc rehab. They will give me a week to decide. They said if I said no to getting a psychological evaluation that they would close my case.which in my opinion is bullshit.
