VR can be of benefit to disabled individuals in a number of ways. One way, of course, is by getting them access to certain treatment and/or testing. When a claimant's case for ssdi (social security disability insurance) or ssi (supplemental security income) disability benefits is processed, a request for VR records will usually be sent to the VR counselor. These records, upon receipt, can help to substantiate a disability claimant's case for benefits. So, yes, VR can definitely be of help on an ssd or ssi case.
