Disability Grants in Delaware

Handicap grants such as those listed below may or may not provide funding for wheelchair vans. Please be sure to check with each foundation for their requirements.

The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and their Independent Living (IL) component will potentially pay for modifications to a van if an individual meets DVR or IL general eligibility criteria and if the van is seven-years-old or less with fewer than 70,000 miles. If the age and/or mileage are above those limits, these agencies will consider payment if a mechanic examines the condition of the vehicle. The modifications must be employment-related to be considered for DVR funding. DVR and IL do not pay for the purchase of a van. Contact DVR regarding van modifications at its central office at (302) 761-8275 or at its offices throughout the state. Contact IL at (302) 378-5779.

Paralyzed Veterans Association (PVA) is another potential source of payment for van modifications, but not van purchases. Their maximum award is $1,500. Contact PVA at (302) 368-4898.

The Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) provides a one-time only grant for persons whose disability is 100% military service connected. The grant's maximum amount is $9,000 and it is only available for the conversion of a new van. Contact the VA at (302) 994-2511.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association offers grants for van lifts to individuals with any of the neuromuscular diseases in the Association's program.

Those with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits from the Social Security Administration can contact the agency about its Plan to Achieve Self Support (PASS). A PASS plan sets aside income to buy equipment or services in a way that keeps income, as well as resources, below the SSI eligibility cut-off so there are no reductions in benefits. The emphasis is on whether the handicap van or equipment will help the SSI recipient become vocationally self-sufficient. It is important that an individual contact and receive the approval of Social Security before setting up a PASS plan. Once money has been set aside for a PASS, spending it on something else can result in the loss of SSI benefits.

Those who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits as well as SSI may be able to use another work-incentive program called the Impairment-Related Work Expense (IRWE) to purchase a vehicle.
