Veterans and service members with service connected or permanent disability have access to special grants to purchase homes or adapt the existing ones to suit their condition. VA has provided eligibility conditions to be met by applicants for disabled veterans loans. The grants go into purchasing, construction or modification of homes with the aim of making them easier for the veteran to live despite his condition.
The Specially Adapted Housing Grant helps vets with service-connected disability to live in an environment that is free of barriers. This grants them a considerable level of independence. The grant is available for several uses including construction of a home that is adapted on a property that is to be acquired.
Specially Adapted Housing grants are available for construction on an adapted house on land that is already owned by the veteran. This means that the grant will only cover the cost of construction since the land is already owned by the affected vet. This increases the amount that will be available for construction of the house.
A veteran may apply for a grant to remodel a house and make it suitable based on his condition. The amount in this case is substantially small but still qualifies for full consideration. The grant may also be applied against an unpaid principle if the home was purchased without the consideration of VA disability benefits. This will substantially reduce the amount to be paid over the remaining period of time.
Special Housing Adaptation grant enables home owners to purchase or adapt houses even in cases where they are not the veterans. It is designed to accommodate family members housing disabled Vets. The home owner should show the veteran is a family member who will be housed in the home targeted for purchase. This category allows the buyer to consider a home that is already modified.
SHA and SAH grants can be accessed by veterans with total service connected disability or permanent disability. If the condition is permanent, one may apply for either grant. A distinction exists where the SAH scheme is designed for Vets while the SHA plan accommodates family members housing the vets.
An individual who has lost all or part of normal functions of both legs and arms is eligible. A person blinded on both eyes and has lost one or both legs also qualifies for these grants. The loss of use or total loss of a lower leg that is accompanied by remnants of injuries or organic disease provides sufficient ground for exemption.
The loss of a leg and an arm also makes an individual eligible for SAH grant. Severe burns are considered as well as loss or loss of use of lower extremities that would affect balance and propulsion. The latter is only considered in case a solution cannot be found in wheelchairs, canes, crutches and braces.
Victims of the September 11th attack are considered in these exemptions. Severe burns that affect the respiratory system will make an individual illegible. A veteran is allowed to take up to a certain dollar limit with a cap on three grants.
