and both of the following criteria are met - a). The items are generally owned and used by students or employees pursuing the training, independent
living, or employment objective, and b) individuals who do not have the items would be placed at a distinct disadvantage [38 CFR 21.212(d)].
If the facility or employer requires the claimant to personally possess the supplies or equipment, the facility representative or employer must specify
these and sign in Section III below. If the VA case manager determines that the supplies and/or equipment are needed or required, signature from the
