Granted

The Veteran's claim for two annual clothing allowances based on the use of a right knee brace and a left knee brace during Calendar Year 2020 was granted.

The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's bilateral knee braces tended to cause wear or tear to his pants at an increased rate due to their use in treating service-connected disabilities.
