Granted

The Board granted an annual clothing allowance for 2020 due to wear and tear on the Veteran's clothing caused by his back brace.

The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the back brace causes wear and tear on the Veteran's clothing, leading to a grant of the claim.
