How is the veteran or servicemember advised that he/she is eligible for a Specially Adapted Housing Grant?
A notice of eligibility (rating decision) for specially adapted housing will be sent to the veteran or servicemember. A VA Specially Adapted Housing Agent will visit the veteran or servicemember and counsel him/her in every way possible in using the grant. The veteran or servicemember will also be furnished a supplemental application form (VA Form 26-4555c, Veterans Supplemental Application for Assistance in Acquiring Specially Adapted Housing) to be filled out when he/she is ready to obtain the grant. When the veterans or servicemembers request for the grant is approved, he/she will receive a commitment letter from VA setting forth the terms and conditions under which the funds will be made available. Any contract executed by the veteran or servicemember must include the condition that it is subject to VA approval and his/her obtaining the grant.
