permanent home (a home you plan to live in for a long time) and you meet both of these requirements. BOTH OF THESE MUST BE TRUE: * You own or will own the home, AND * You have a qualifying

service-connected disability QUALIFYING SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABILITIES INCLUDE: * The loss, or loss of use, of more than one limb * The loss, or loss of use, of a lower leg along with the

residuals (lasting effects) of an organic (natural) disease or injury * Blindness in both eyes (with 20/200 visual acuity or less) * Certain severe burns * The loss, or loss of use, of one

lower extremity (foot or leg) after September 11, 2001, which makes it so you can’t balance or walk without the help of braces, crutches, canes, or a wheelchair NOTE: Only 120 Veterans and

service members each fiscal year (FY) can qualify for a grant based on the loss of one extremity after September 11, 2001, as set by Congress. A fiscal year runs from October 1 through
