Question

2 years ago stamp RO Director no name or how to response to it .

My question is  anybody getting allowance the carpel tunnel brace anymore??

The black braces with metal in it. This was my appeal for this brace. ATL VA says they

don't pay anymore for this brace. The appeal letter says I am eligible for one or more braces

apply before 8-1-16 form 10-8768. They still didn't approve or denied 2 years wasted or this appeal

I also found out that if you get to know the clerks pretty good  & get along with them that helps...one of the clerks in my Sleep Clinic happens to be a female and she  likes me a lot for some reason...so when I need something for my C-pap I go see her   so for she just says ok no problem I'll put in an order for ya  and winks at me...But I don't tell the wife...LoL

You might want to read the new rules for getting Clothing Allowance (CA).  I used to get it for my back brace(hard plastic) and cream I use for pain. You can still get the equipment no problem but to get CA you must have (sad to say and excuse me VA buddies:sad:) missing parts. Check it out.

RU, the Letter addresses the VA Clothing Allowance that is paid to Vets, once each year. I think you have to file for it through the Prosthesis Dept, on their Special Form. It's about $450+ per yr.

This clothing allowance is to compensate you for the Wear & Tear caused by your respective device, on your clothing. There's no appealing involved. A friend of mine, gets it for his Back Brace.

Semper Fi

I am getting One for my back brace and I was getting one for my wrist brace

so I was getting two CA until 2 years ago and they gave me and excuse that the company

who makes the brace says it don't cause a wear or tear, so I call the same company

and was told it do cause damage to clothing, so I appeal the decision. CA is about $700

per year and I go get me some new clothes every year with it.lol.   $1400.. a year ant bad for clothes

I think thats in every VA Letter format...they usually just say that

''if you disagree with our decision you can appeal'' We have included VA Form 21-0958

Maybe they have to say that? but that don't mean you have to Appeal.

Maybe I am not following you on this?

If you have a VA letter stating to take this letter to the proper Dept and ask that you be given your Brace!...then you don't need to appeal!

Buck what the heck are you talking about I am talking about CA for my

brace $700 per year been in appeals 2 years

just to add The Appeal I was looking for is 8 years old

6 digits retro and they send me some bull shit about

a CA.. That Appeal been at THE Director of Compensation

2 months and was told I would have a decision in 3 weeks.

Most say the Director normally denies it most of the time  even my

attorney.
