Clothing allowance

[jamescripps2]

Don't forget to apply for your 2023 clothing allowance if you are eligible. I always sign up early, either just before, or shortly after the first of the year. If I wait, I tend to forget. The cut off date to make application is August,1 and most veterans must reapply each and every year. To forget is costly as I qualify for three clothing allowances every year.. One for the Chloracne skin medication (Benzoyl Peroxide) and two more, one for each AFO leg brace. The allowance for 2022 was $891.00 each x 3 = $2,673.00 in my own case. As the 2023 COLA increased, I would expect that the clothing allowance for 2023 will also increase proportionally.

Always, but always, I turn the application in person to Prosthetics and ask for a date stamped copy for your files. If you fail to receive your money you will need to produce the date stamped copy. That has happened to me.
