Home Improvements And Structural Alterations (Hisa)

[okie143]

My father was 100% SC for over 20 years. When he died the VA said that his disabilities were part of the reason for his death so my mother was given his disability compensation as DIC.

My mother recently received a letter from the VA telling her about the

Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA)

I cannot find anywhere on the internet about dependents receiving DIC getting HISA.

Does anyone have any information on this?

Thanks.

I don't think that DIC is covered under HISA but each VA has an office that can explain it to you, I got a new shower to replace a sunken tub. I am supposed to get a bed to replace my current one from Independent L:iving Program that will also benefit my wife at least we think it will.

HISA is for the veteran only....

Dependency Indemnity compensation is paid to spouses or children of deceased veterans whose death was the cause or a factor in the cause of the veterans death.
