The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Veterans Health Administration (VHA), administers medical services established by law. Title 38 U.S.C. Section 1701(6) includes prosthetic items within the scope of medical services. Title 38 U.S.C. Section 3901, 3902, 3903, 3904, and 1162 authorize the Secretary to provide each person eligible for a motor vehicle grant the adaptive equipment deemed necessary to ensure that the person will be able to operate the vehicle safely, in a manner consistent with the safety of others and to satisfy the applicable standards of licensure established by the state of residency. Further, VA provides assistance to Veterans applying for Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grants. The Prosthetic Service determines eligibility, entitlement, and payment of individual claims for home improvements and structural alterations to accommodate a Veteranâs needs.
