VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: for the retired veterans

This article from today's NT Times: "A Special Arrangement via the V.A."
"If you use the Veterans Affairs health care system and have a disability that requires equipment being added to the home, the V.A. may pick up the total bill for the improvements. Your V.A. doctor can refer you to a specialist who will come to your home and determine what changes need to be made. The V.a. will then find someone to make the modifications at no charge to you.

If your income in the past has been slightly too high to qualify for V.A. health benefits, you should check the new limits. The income thresholds were raised in June. Go to the V.A., online calculator or call 1-877-22-8387 to find out if you qualify."

"If your home requires permanent changes like a ramp instead of front steps, you will have to apply for a Home Improvements and Structural Alterations grant. The grants range from $1,200 to $4,100."
