Clothing Allowance Time Again

[JayBrown1]

I went to the Prosthetic Department at my local VA Medical Center as directed by letter I received. I took my damage clothes and was wearing my devices as I do daily. I was ask if I was wear my devices and I told them yes. He wrote on letter that I was wearing devices and said I will make you a copy to keep. I ask him don't you want to see my damage clothing, he said that's not necessary, I said yes it is and I pulled out every thing I brought with me and showed him. He then said ok, I make that copy now. I said first you need to annotate on the letter that you observed my damaged clothing, he said okay and wrote on it and said would you like a copy now and I said yes I would. Veterans, please make sure that they make note of all damage clothing otherwise they could deny you allowance just like they did last year with me. My appeal is still waiting a decision. I was receiving a clothing allowance for over ten years and when they changed to dual allowances I was denied one of them because they stated that it was not noted that I showed damaged clothing even though I did but because it was not noted it was denied so I only received one allowance.

Nothing here in Alabama. For some reason we always get ours late. It seems like the personnel working our claims put no rush into submitting our clothing allowance. No to mention the fact that if your claim is denied they will not inform you until the next year.

Did anyone get a letter from their prosthetics department stating their clothing allowance was approved or denied?

Or did your allowance just showed up in your account?

For those who have received their clothing allowance, can you tell me the type of braces you are using?
