Augusta Ga Va Clothing Allowance

[tmoe]

I know this has been mention 100 times,but this is what VA is trying to do with clothing allowance, I had a back brace that was not through

VA and the first guy says it has to be through VA to get paid. My responce was I don't get care for my back from VA, its through

a private Dr, VA won't see me for my back problem. So the supervisor who pays clothing was in a meeting until I ask for the regulation

that says it has to be issue through VA to get paid,they could'nt. Then she says I have to appeal the decision and to write a NOD as

to why I disagree, so I ask for paper to write my disagreement she don't have any, so one of the co worker gave me some paper and

told me to write everything they said and before I could get it wrote the supervisor say stop right there sign it I will pay you for the brace.

I was suppose to get three but my left hand is not sc for carpal tunnel just the right and the back. I just had to show the prescription for

my back brace and the brace it self. So dont let them s**t you they must pay you. ALL this was after I recieve my letter, just got paid for

one,but was denied 2 other. Now the back brace was approve today!!

justrluk, I just receive an approval for wrist brace but they denied the back brace saying I needed to take some worn clothing

and a new prescription to prosthetic saying I need this type of brace, and go to primary care to get a new brace something that wont

wear clothing. I was told the supervisor had complaints about not answering the phones so she is answering and giving the info over the phone

after I call her I had the letter the next 2 days. Not sure if it is deposited yet got lock out my account. I think the number or ext 6162
