Granted

The Veteran's claim for a clothing allowance for the year 2021 for his right knee brace is granted based on evidence that it causes damage to his clothing.

The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence at least in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's right knee brace tended to wear and tear his clothing, supporting the award of a clothing allowance.
