This is very good information about the voucher available after SB863. One thing that is important to know is that the voucher, now offered at a flat rate of $6,000, must be awarded once permanent disability rating is established. However, eligible employees may or may not know about the statute saying the voucher expires within two years if it is not taken and in five years if it is not used.
Reading about college consultants in this article does appear to be a good tool. There are however free consultants/counselors that work with those with disabilities available at every college. There are many who attend college under the disabled student services department at their college. There they can receive help with any accommodations they may need or special adaptive equipment.

I am not an attorney.Anything I write should not be considered legal advice.I am writing from my own personal experiences,which is not from any sort of legal background. You should consult with an attorney over legal issues. In California, if you cannot get an attorney you can consult with an I&A officer.
