The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a second clothing allowance for calendar year 2020, as the medications were not prescribed for a service-connected condition and did not cause irreparable damage to outer garments.
The deciding factor: The medications listed on the Veteran's claims did not meet the criteria for an annual clothing allowance because they were not prescribed for a service-connected condition and did not cause irreparable damage to his outer garments.
