manner consistent with the safety of others and to satisfy the 
applicable standards of licensure established by the state of 
residency. VA also provides assistance to Veterans applying for Home 
Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grants. The Prosthetic 
Service determines eligibility, entitlement, and payment of individual 
claims for home improvements and structural alterations to accommodate 
a Veteran's needs.
