The home that HFOT provides is a specially adapted custom home designed to meet the needs of severely injured Veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of war who may need to spend all or part of their day in a wheelchair. By meeting the injury requirements for SAH benefits, which are established by Congress and are intended to define the most severely injured Veterans, the Veteran meets an objective public standard that fulfills HFOT’s requirement to be severely injured. HFOT does not have the medical expertise to make these determinations, and relies on the VA’s medical authorities to make the determination for eligibility, which is our first criterion for any Veteran’s acceptance into HFOT’s program.
