Altwork Can Help Disabled U.S. Veterans Secure an Altwork Signature Station Through the VA
Oct 22, 2024
U.S. Veterans have dedicated their lives to serving our country, often facing unique challenges as they transition into civilian life. Many Veterans seek to continue building successful careers or pursue education, but physical limitations can sometimes hinder these goals. At Altwork, we are committed to helping Veterans overcome these barriers and thrive in their professional and academic endeavors. One way we support them is by assisting in securing an Altwork Signature Station through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Our Veterans Support Specialist—a Veteran himself—understands the process and is here to assist both Veterans and VA staff. The Altwork Signature Station has already been approved by the VA to provide ergonomic support for veterans facing physical challenges. If you are a Veteran or a VA caseworker interested in learning more, please reach out to us. We are here to help make the process as smooth as possible. You can email us at info@altwork.com or fill out the form below.
How the Altwork Signature Station Can Help
The Altwork Signature Station is designed to address a range of physical conditions by allowing users to adjust their posture and position—from sitting to standing to fully reclining—helping alleviate strain and discomfort. Specific challenges it can help manage include:- Chronic Pain and Physical Strain: The station’s adjustable positions—sitting, standing, reclining, and everything in between—reduce pressure on areas affected by back, neck, joint pain, or mobility challenges. This flexibility allows users to change positions throughout the day, enabling them to work or study for extended periods without aggravating discomfort.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs): By customizing the position of the arms, keyboard, and monitor, the station alleviates strain from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Focus and Comfort: A more adaptable work environment helps those struggling with physical discomfort stay focused, which is essential for career or educational pursuits.
How Veterans Can Apply for an Altwork Station Through the VA
The process of having the VA cover the cost of an Altwork Signature Station can be complex, but Altwork is available to provide guidance at every step. We encourage both Veterans and caseworkers to reach out to us with any questions or for assistance. If you need help, don't hesitate to contact us at info@altwork.com—we’re here to assist. Additionally, you can fill out the form at the bottom of this page, and your message will be sent directly to our Veterans Support Specialist, who will guide you through the process.
- Apply for Disability Benefits: Before seeking coverage for the Altwork Station, Veterans should apply for and receive disability benefits through the VA. These benefits help ensure that the Veteran's medical needs are formally recognized.
- Identify the Medical Need: A medical professional must determine that the Altwork Station addresses a specific need related to the Veteran’s disability. This could be anything from chronic pain to mobility issues. A doctor’s letter (sometimes referred to as a “prescription”) that clearly states how the Altwork Station will support the Veteran's health and productivity is required.
- Work with a Caseworker: Veterans should speak with their local VA office or reach out to their assigned caseworker. For further assistance, Veterans and caseworkers can contact Altwork directly by emailing info@altwork.com or submitting the form at the bottom of the page to connect with our Veterans Support Specialist, who is available to help navigate the process and answer any questions.
