VA Wheelchair & Van benefits question
First of all if this is in the wrong section, Moderator please move it and let me know.
I am a US Veteran, 100% disabled since the ALS diagnosis last year. I am (all too quickly) getting to where I need the PWC. Of course, that means a van, too.
I understand the VA offers $ benefits to help with the costs of these specific items. eBenefits.va.gov is, IMNSHM, not very useful.
Do any of you have experience in this regard? How much $'s if any? How much time? Do they hhave loaner PWCs if I can solve the van problem? Any & everthing else that might help?
I had an appointment last week and they say the KT will call (In'Shallah!) and that my loss of extremity has been signed off by their neuros.
Any guidance much appreciated!
