Autonomy for All Disabled Veterans Act

This bill raises how much the VA will pay disabled veterans for home improvements that help them live safely at home, like ramps, wider doorways, or bathroom changes. It also sets a rule to adjust these dollar limits each year for inflation based on a home construction cost index, and it won’t lower the amount if the index doesn’t go up.

Only veterans who apply after the law takes effect can use the new higher limits. If a veteran already used up their benefit before the law is passed, they don’t get extra funds because of this change.

• Who is affected: Disabled veterans needing home improvements to support home health care.
• What changes: The VA’s maximum payment for these improvements increases, and those limits will be updated each year for inflation using a home construction cost index.
• When: The higher limits apply to veterans who first apply after the law is enacted; no retroactive benefits for those who already exhausted their eligibility.
