Hi! I have a question about VA programs [View all]

and would appreciate any information.

My oldest friend, my eternal BFF and brother from another mother, reached out to me last night. He’s a vet and I’m pretty sure he gets 100% disability. The issue is he needs a bathroom on the main floor of his home. It’s an older home, recently inherited from his Grandmother, so there is an upstairs bathroom and a tiny one down in the basement. He lives on the main floor and his mobility has declined to the point he’s often not able to get to either.

Is there any program through the VA that could add a bathroom, or even just a toilet, to the ground level? Money is an issue because unfortunately Nana was way behind on her mortgage and tax payments, so he’s been paying that off in order to keep the house.

I’m not a veteran and not sure of the programs offered. Tried googling but there is a ton of info and it looks like lots of guidelines/restrictions for what is covered. I would really appreciate a point in the right direction.

Thank you.
