Granted
The Veteran was granted a clothing allowance for 2020 for his left knee brace due to the service-connected disability causing wear and tear on clothing.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the necessary criteria are met, and the Veteran is competent to report that the brace caused wear and tear on his clothing.
