# §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.**
