Moderator pacmanx1 Posted July 20, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2009 About September 1st My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions. Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up. I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

etihwr Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 August 1st is when it is supposed to be paid. In Jan 2009 Sursely v Peake was decided by the federal Court. The decision states the va has no choice but to award multiple clothing allowances to veterans that have more than one service connected disability that requires use of more thant one orthopedic appliance that wears out the clothing. The DAV recently published an article in their newest magazine stating this ruling only applies to amputees. THE DAV IS WRONG! While this would expecially apply to double and triple amputees, there is nothing in the language of the court that limits it to just amputees. If you read the court case closely it applies to all veterans with or without amputations an the VA had not choice but to comply with the ruling.

sharon Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Clothing allowances are released on the third Thursday in August. That is for the veterans that have reoccuring payments. The others are released on a monthly bases. The applications have to be in by 1 August. "Don't give up. Don't ever give up." Jimmy V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator pacmanx1 Posted July 20, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Clothing allowances are paid the last week of August to the First week of September. It's true they are supposed to be certified by August 1st but they are paid out annually. If you get one or multiple they will be paid out about the same time. Sharon I am not sure what you mean by "monthly bases" Clothing allowances are released on the third Thursday in August. That is for the veterans that have reoccuring payments. The others are released on a monthly bases. The applications have to be in by 1 August Maybe case by case bases if after the August deadline Edited July 20, 2009 by pacmanx1 My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.
