The Board dismissed the appeal for an annual clothing allowance due to a left knee brace and granted a second clothing allowance for the 2020 calendar year based on use of a right knee brace.
The deciding factor: The decision was made in favor of the Veteran when reasonable doubt was resolved in his favor, as the evidence supported that the right knee brace caused wear, tear, and/or irreparable damage to his clothing.
