Why are females with disability rated alopecia hair loss only allowed 1 unit yr? We were granted 2 units a year with up keep to them, ( washed and styled)biweekly scalp treatments. Which was a big help in maintaining my unit. And a big mental boost because I didn’t feel alone and ashamed. But all came to a stop, and only allowed 1 unit(wig) a year. I have other friends with same rating, different states that receive 2 units a year. My treatment is at the VA Hospital in DC. Not sure just asking if it depends on the treatment center?. I enjoy my treatment at the VA, this just a concern. The unit are nice but are made of lace which after a while will rip, and having to make it last until next year is allot.

I Do Understand The Importance Of Hair To Our Female Gender,
But I Must Add ~ And This Is Only The Opinion Of A Bald MAN; "It Really IS Just Hair".
And I've Seen A Few Women With No Hair, Many Of My Family Members Had Cancer & Became Totally Bald Due To The Radiation Therapy... Our Mom, An Aunt And 2 Of My Sisters; And Every One Looked Pretty Darned Good With Not Having A Hair In Site. I Have No Idea If My Opinion Helps, But Our Mom Loved The Way She Looked While Jokingly Saying; " I'm Saving A lot Of Money On Shampoo & Trips To The Beauty Shop Too."
