Granted
The Veteran's crutches were found to cause wear and tear on his clothing, granting a clothing allowance for the year 2021.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, it was determined that regular use of VA-prescribed crutches tended to wear or tear outer garments during the 2021 calendar year.
