Hi again: I have some questions for the great people here;I am trying to figure out the process for HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) Program. The info states "A prescription from a VA, or fee-basis, physician for HISA modifications is required and must include the following". My question is that I don't know where to get the application for the physician to complete--there is also a form # 10-0103 called Veterans Application for Assistance in Acquiring HISA-this form is for the contractor to complete. I have this form(10-0103). Has anyone dealt with this program? ALSO, in regard to the Independent Living Program, Testvet briefly described this program-could this be given more detail. Roger got 100% PTSD and TDIU, P&T, the decision stated "Your disabilities are felt to be preventing you from being able to get a job which could be classified as substantially gainful employment." How does this program work? I am wondering if we could get assistance in regard to a handicap toilet as he also has IBS, and also a window installed in our dining room,-such installation would provide him with clear vision to our front entrance door giving him the knowledge that no one is sneaking up on him. Currently that is the feeling he has. This relates to the PTSD. Any info on this will be greatly appreciated. We applied and got his disabled veteran license plate, we live in Michigan. I still can't believe it only took VA a few months after the C&P exam to give their decision; we have been struggling financially and believe me when I say the deposit made to the bank account the first of the month really allows us to breathe easier.(The retro payment took care of a lot of outstanding items, now maybe we can relax).
