       11.7(1) Full consideration is given to any comparable services and benefits available to a blind person under any program (for example, workers’ compensation, supplemental security income, social security disability insurance) to meet in whole or in part the cost of independent living rehabilitation services provided to an individual except assessment for determining eligibility and independent living rehabilitation needs; counseling and guidance; information and referral; and personal and vocational adjustment training and related training supplies.

       11.7(2) Full consideration of comparable services and benefits shall not be given when this consideration would delay the provision of services to an individual at extreme medical risk. A determination of extreme medical risk shall be based upon medical evidence provided by an appropriately licensed medical professional.
