Veterans Affairs Clothing Allowance

If your clothing has been damaged by your prosthetic or orthopedic device (such as a wheelchair) or by the medicine you’re taking for a skin condition, you may be able to get money each year to help you buy new clothes. This is called an annual clothing allowance. You may be eligible if one of these is true:

• Your prosthetic or orthopedic device damages your clothes, or

• Your skin medicine causes damage to your outer clothing (like your

pants or shirt) that can’t be repaired

And this must be true:

• You need this device or skin medicine because of an injury or illness

related to your military service (called a service-connected condition).
