Augusta Ga Va Clothing Allowance

[tmoe]

I know this has been mention 100 times,but this is what VA is trying to do with clothing allowance, I had a back brace that was not through

VA and the first guy says it has to be through VA to get paid. My responce was I don't get care for my back from VA, its through

a private Dr, VA won't see me for my back problem. So the supervisor who pays clothing was in a meeting until I ask for the regulation

that says it has to be issue through VA to get paid,they could'nt. Then she says I have to appeal the decision and to write a NOD as

to why I disagree, so I ask for paper to write my disagreement she don't have any, so one of the co worker gave me some paper and

told me to write everything they said and before I could get it wrote the supervisor say stop right there sign it I will pay you for the brace.

I was suppose to get three but my left hand is not sc for carpal tunnel just the right and the back. I just had to show the prescription for

my back brace and the brace it self. So dont let them s**t you they must pay you. ALL this was after I recieve my letter, just got paid for

one,but was denied 2 other. Now the back brace was approve today!!

Jay - have you had any success yet? I still haven't seen anything and nothing on eBenefits.

Just called today: those of us that received a letter from July - Sept may not see payment until next month.

Justrluk haven't heard anything from chief of prosthetics yet, I'm sure they will come up with some type of an excuse as to why my second allowance remain denied.

[justrluk]

I called the other day. Woman looked up my claim and said it was processed on the 17th of December. I still haven't seen a deposit.
