Veterans SPORT Act

House Votes

This bill would make the VA treat adaptive sports prosthetics and special attachments as regular medical care. That means eligible veterans could get artificial limbs and end-of-device attachments designed for sports and other recreation—like running blades or adaptive grips—through VA medical services, not just for basic daily use. In short, it requires the VA to furnish these devices as part of health care for veterans who qualify, so they can be active and participate in the activities they love .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Veterans eligible for VA health care.
• What changes: Adaptive prostheses and sport/recreation attachments are included in VA medical services and must be provided to eligible veterans.
• Why it matters: Makes it easier for veterans to access gear that supports exercise, hobbies, and community activities, not just basic mobility.
