Clothing Allowance

[teamiguana]

I was denied clothing allowance for 10% benzoyl peroxide prescribed for service connected cystic acne. Can anyone point me in the direction of documentation that shows benzoyl peroxide causes irreparable damage to clothing. Any help to prove it so I can send it back in would be appreciated. Thanks

I would look it up online. Do you file for the clothing allowance like a regular claim for compensation?

I searched everywhere online and I find no specific documentation that the govt has put out. Called prosthetics at 2 different VA hospitals with no joy. There has to be a specific list somewhere that shows medications that when used are eligible for clothing allowance. I filed the claim for clothing allowance seperate from my initial claim.

The best evidence would be the damaged clothing. Be sure to apply before the period closes. I think it's the end of August. If denied, as w/any VA claim, appeal, appeal, appeal!! jmo
