The Board granted the Veteran's claims for a clothing allowance for calendar year 2021 for his back brace and right wrist brace, but denied the claim for custom shoe inserts.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's back brace and wrist brace caused wear and tear to his clothing, while there was no evidence of damage to an eligible article of clothing by the custom shoe inserts.
