I was told the same thing - "You should see something between October and December. Just check your account." I also got a letter this week reminding me to re-apply by next July.

So does clothing allowance just come once pr yr? And if so do Vets get it at the same time each yr?

I have a Veteran looking for this information.

Hi allan,

Yes, once per year. This year it was $716.

For the last 30 or 40 years, the best I can remember, I have always received it in August.

It has gone up a few dollars from time to time. I remember it was $525. for many years.
