Granted
The Veteran's claim for a clothing allowance for bilateral wrist braces was granted based on his credible assertion that the wrist braces cause damage and wear and tear to his clothing.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's assertions credible and resolved any doubt in his favor, as he is competent to report observable phenomena related to his clothing damage.
