Veterans Affairs (VA)

Posted byPride MobilityPosted inFunding

The Department of Veteran’s Affairs offers the following to eligible service-connected disabled veterans: 1) services leading to suitable employment and/or 2) services leading to more independence in daily living. The federal VA website has a great deal of information on VA Programs, veteran’s benefits, VA facilities worldwide and more. Veterans and their dependents are served by the VA website.

Eligibility Requirements

Requirements are complex, and not all veterans are eligible for all benefits. Generally, if a veteran is eligible for admission to a VA Medical Center (VAMC), then any disability will be treated.

Application Process

Contact your local VA Benefits Counselor to determine the veterans benefits you are eligible for.

  1. I AM A VETERAN’S SPOUSE, WILL I BE ABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE IN GETTING A LIFT CHAIR? THE SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE AT LEAST 29inches from arm to arm. Right now my weight is about 365lbs.

    1. Hello Harla! If you are covered by your spouse’s veteran’s benefits I suggest speaking with your primary care physician to see what your insurance will cover. Please let me know if you have any additional questions, I will be happy to help point you in the right direction after that.

      Thank you,

      Amanda

  3. I am a disabled Veteran with prescriptions from my Orthopedic Physician and my Primary Care Physician for a Power Lift Chair. I purchased a PLR-975M chair because the Prosthetics Dept. at the Reno, NV VAMC stated that they do not buy furniture. Can you offer any assistance for me trying to get reimbursed?
    Thank You

    1. Hi Frederick! Thank you for reaching out to us. We recommend speaking with your insurance carrier about funding options and reimbursement. Be sure to check with your primary and if applicable secondary insurance.

    2. The people in your Reno VA evident;y have no clue what a power lift chair is.. I strongly suggest you do two things, First contact your Patient Advocate at the VA and see if they can educate the ones who declined you. Second Contact the Regional VA rep and I suggest contacting the VFW Regional rep at the same time. That get folks educated in a hurry.

    1. Hi Jerry! We suggest speaking directly with your primary healthcare physician and mentioning to them that you are interested in exploring mobility options. At the VA there are typically seating and mobility specialists you can work with.

  8. Just an FYI for the Veterans Administration Patients; it took me about 6 months total to get approval for a mobilty scooter. The process at the time was a “self referral” to the VA Mobility Clinic, I believe today you would just need a referral from your VA Doctor. A regular civilian Doctor’s referral is not accepted unless you were being seen under the Community Care Program. From the website seniorsmobility.org they state: “Does the VA Pay for a Lift Recliner?
    The short answer is yes and no. The Veterans Health Administration will cover Durable Medical Equipment (DME). The good news is, the VA will cover the lift mechanism. The bad news is, they will not cover the chair. Thankfully, there are lift mechanisms on the market which can turn a household chair into a lift chair.” The mechanism would be provided by their prosthetics department if approved. I elected to just buy a chair out of pocket myself as modifying an existing chair was out of the question.
