If you’re a veteran needing a walk-in tub and require financial assistance, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers programs to help. Here’s what you should know:
Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grants: SAH grants assist eligible veterans with service-connected disabilities in making home modifications for enhanced accessibility. Walk-in tubs can significantly improve bathing for individuals with mobility issues, making them potentially eligible for this program.
Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grants: HISA grants support veterans in making necessary home modifications for medical treatment or disability-related accessibility. To be considered for coverage, obtain a letter from your doctor explaining the necessity of a walk-in bathtub for your health condition.
These VA programs provide financial support to make walk-in tubs more accessible to veterans. For detailed information, including any available discounts for veterans, contact the VA directly or consult with a Veterans Service Organization.
