It does make sense for both use cases. One of the powerful things about
Verifiable Credentials is that you can use them for machine-to-machine
interaction directly... and that machine-to-machine communication can
then surface a11y requirements to another human or organization.

See Use Case H.5:

https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-use-cases/#healthcare

Embarrassingly the *only* accessibility use case we have in our use
cases document.

... but, yes, you could use Verifiable Credentials for
auto-personalization, or to prove to a service provider that you are
legally entitled to the service due to accessibility needs.
