Griffin Mobility™ has been happily serving Veterans for nearly 20 years.

We understand and see the massive difficulties and paths that we, our families, other veterans, and caregivers must navigate through when going about the complex and complicated network of disability programs available to keep us mobile and independent.  We are here to make your life more accessible.  We are here to help you, giving you the resources, pages, forms, tools, and websites that you need to obtain accessible vehicles, mobility devices, scooter & wheelchair lifts, and adaptive driving equipment.  If you’re a veteran or injured while in the service, we are here to work with you and your local VA to resolve any issues. These National Organizations might also help you with additional Veterans Administration benefits and other assistance programs.

How to get started with the VA Disability Program:

Before continuing, you need to know if you qualify for VA mobility benefits.  The below disabilities, resulting from injury or disease received, or aggravated during active service qualify you for benefits:

  • Loss, or permanent loss of use, of at least one foot OR
  • Loss, or permanent loss of use, of at least one hand OR
  • Blindness, or permanent vision impairment of both eyes, consistent with VA disability guidelines OR
  • Severe burn injuries resulting from deep, partial, or full-thickness burns that cause contracture or limits motion of one or more extremities that preclude effective operation of an automobile.

If any of these injuries apply to you, download the application VA FORM 21-4502 or call 844-698-2311 to request it, fill it out and submit. 

Visit benefits.gov for additional details.  Additionally, you can find out more on programs for Automobile Allowance and Automobile Adaptive Equipment.  To apply for equipment for automobiles and other motor vehicles, download EQ FORM 10-1394 or call 844-698-2311 to request a copy.  The AAE (Automobile Adaptive Equipment) Program enables physically challenged individuals to enter, exit, and/or operate a motor vehicle or other means of transportation.  

Non-Service-Connected Vehicle Modifications Program

Eligible veterans can receive non-operational equipment to aid in the entry and exit of a van. Equipment is not issued under the Automobile Adaptive Equipment Program because it is categorized as medical.  Before any vehicle modifications or equipment for the vehicle is installed, repaired, or replaced, authorization by the VA is required.  Veterans / Servicemembers should consult with VHA when making decisions regarding vehicle selection, modifications, or adaptions specifically required to meet individual needs. Evaluation for proper driving equipment is critical BEFORE purchasing a new vehicle in order to avoid unnecessary personal costs.  To apply for vehicle modifications, please contact your local Prosthetic Service at the nearest VA medical center or visit www.prosthetics.va.gov for more information about Prosthetics.
