Hisler v. Dist. of Columbia Department of Employment Services

The D.C. Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part a decision of the D.C. Department of Employment Services that affirmed two administrative law judge orders regarding reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the petitioner. The first ALJ order granted the petitioner's requests for reimbursement of certain medical expenses but denied reimbursement for others. The second order denied the petitioner's request for reimbursement for vocational rehabilitation expenses. The appeals court affirmed the department's decision denying reimbursement of the medical expenses, but reversed its decision denying reimbursement for vocational rehabilitation expenses. The court remanded the case for further proceedings.
