I was denied my clothing allowance by VAMC Prosthetics dept. Their reasoning makes no sense.
I am 100% TDIU/P&T. I wear a back brace and two knee braces, as well as use a neck brace. I also use a cane to assist with ambulation. But I applied based on the back and knee braces that were issued back in 2004/2005.
I use to get the CA and then got a letter saying it would be stopped back in 2006.
I reapplied after getting my new rating and am still being denied. How do I fight this? They say if I disagree with their decision to appeal. Well, last time I appealed the same dept handled the appeal. So, who would I appeal to in order to get an unbiased review of the claim?
