Partly granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claim for clothing allowances for a knee brace in 2020 and 2021, but denied the claims for an ankle brace and topical medications.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran used a knee brace during the period on appeal, while there was no evidence that the use of topical medications caused damage or staining to his clothing.
