Legal Question in Medical Leave in Illinois

fmla

I was told that I can not start my fmla until all my vacation is used up. This is their new policy, but won't give it to in writing. Can they do this? I have had fmla for 2 years, my application for this year was due Dec. so they can review it for approval in Jan. So far they have given me approval papers.
