(a) Providing documentation of legal status in the United States;
(b) The provisions of Section 20.7-13(g) regarding the cash value of a vehicle, provided that the Applicant can demonstrate that such vehicle is necessary to transport the Applicant to and from medical treatment, and that he or she is physically or mentally unable to use public transportation;
