Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an annual clothing allowance for clobetasol topical medication as there was no evidence that he used or was prescribed this medication for a skin condition due to a service-connected disability during 2022.
The deciding factor: The record does not reflect, and the Veteran has not asserted, that his eczematous dermatitis or psoriasis, for which clobetasol was prescribed, was ever service-connected.
