tmoe Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 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!!

tmoe Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) justrluk, I just receive an approval for wrist brace but they denied the back brace saying I needed to take some worn clothing and a new prescription to prosthetic saying I need this type of brace, and go to primary care to get a new brace something that wont wear clothing. I was told the supervisor had complaints about not answering the phones so she is answering and giving the info over the phone after I call her I had the letter the next 2 days. Not sure if it is deposited yet got lock out my account. I think the number or ext 6162 Edited September 7, 2013 by tmoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
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!!
