According to the document listed above "complete list of veterans benefits", http://vawatchdog.org/fedben%202007.pdf, I found this paragraph:
Home Improvements and Structural Alterations for Disability Access
VA provides up to $4,100 for service-connected veterans and up to $1,200 for non service-connected veterans to make home improvements necessary for the continuation of treatment or for disability access to the home and essential lavatory and sanitary facilities. For application information, contact the prosthetic representative at the nearest VA health care facility.

Has anyone tried this yet? We've had to add bars in showers and bathrooms, as well as a wheelchair ramp. Would love to know if anyone has been successful.

Thanks for this site!!!

Are you on pension?  If so, I know you can report these expenses to increase your pension award rate.
