Disabled veterans would get more money for home changes and annual inflation boosts.
This bill would give disabled veterans more money to make their homes easier to live in. It would increase the maximum amount they can get for home improvements and adjust that amount each year for inflation. However, it would also limit them to three improvements or structural alterations.
Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs provides money for home improvements for disabled veterans with specific dollar limits and no automatic inflation adjustment. If this bill becomes law, the maximum amounts would increase to $6,800 or $10,000 depending on when a veteran applied and their disability status, and these amounts would be adjusted annually for rising construction costs. It would also set a limit of three improvements or structural alterations per veteran.
