The Board granted an additional clothing allowance for 2021 for the Castellani's Colorless Paint, as it is used to treat a distinct type of outer garment from the Aluminum CL Hexahydrate.
The deciding factor: The evidence at least approximates equipoise concerning whether irreparable damage occurred by the two distinct medications affecting different types of outer garments, and resolving any reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, an additional clothing allowance is warranted.
