The Vermont Department of Labor has revised the form used to refer injured workers for vocational rehabilitation services.
The new Vocational Rehabilitation Referral Form (VR-1) requires the following new information:
(1) electronic mail addresses for the claimant, claimant's attorney, the vocational provider and the adjuster/defense attorney; and
(2) the name of a contact person at the employer.
The revisions move the lines to identify the name of the treating physician and the type of injury sustained to the section entitled, "Employee Information."
The Department has noted, that as of now, companies should discontinue use of the prior version of the VR-1.
