# 21.90 Individualized independent living plan.

(a) *Purpose.* The purpose of the IILP is to identify the steps through which a veteran, whose disabilities are so severe that a vocational goal is not currently reasonably feasible, can become more independent in daily living within the family and community.

(b) *Elements of the plan.* The IILP shall follow the same structure as the IWRP. The plan will include:

(1) Services which may be provided under Chapter 31 to achieve independence in daily living;

(2) Utilization of programs with a demonstrated capacity to provide independent living services for severely handicapped persons;

(3) Services provided under other Department of Veterans Affairs and non-Department of Veterans Affairs programs needed to achieve the goals of the plan;

(4) Arrangements for maintaining the improved level of independence following completion of the plan.
