sixthscents Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Look this is just my opinion, but personally I owuld not file for an increase in my clothing allowance with the local VARO. The VARO just states that you are qualified to recieve the allowance, I cant see them determinijng what level, thats the orthopedic shops job. The person you deal with in the Ortho shop for you clothing allowance should be the person to submit this too. I contacted mine and she stated that yes they were aware of it, but the central office had not issued any directives yet on how to handle them. She was supposed to take down the name of any vet who contacted her, and see about back payment though. They did direct her to do that. She had not see the ruling so I emailed it to her. We discussed it over the phone and she said that the central office was saying they were going to issue something "soon". We both agreed that I qualify for either 4 or 6 depending on how they rule, but we will just have to see. She did state that any vet who was already streamiled (set to recieve benefit yearly without filing for it) would just get backpaid for any ruling the central office made "IF THEY CONTACTED HER ABOUT IT". Now that sounds just like the VA to me. She wasn't stating fact, just what she had heard, but... it makes VA sense. Anyway best of luck to all on this. I will try to keep everyone informed as I am on a first name basis with the lady handeling this for me. I have known those people for 7 years and taken gift baskets at christmas etc. So we get along well. Bob Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufloguy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I received my $716 for knee braces. I also received a denial letter for "additional" clothing allowance for foot/ankle braces. I talked to the person who denied the second allowance, and she stated that I should file a nod as she was informed that the va would only pay 1 clothing allowance, even though a federal appeals court ruled otherwise. She also sugested that I contact my congress critter if the nod dosen't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
