I think one needs to remember that when there's a post-traumatic stress disorder or an operational stress injury involved, if you want to set people up for failure, as the rehab specialist will tell you, put them in vocational rehab before they're ready. They'll be worse off than if you hadn't done anything at all. So there's a great deal of sensitivity, perhaps even too much, and that can account for the delay. But if a person isn't ready to be in a vocational rehab program, another failure is probably not what you want to encourage or encounter.
