Granted
The Veteran's claim for a clothing allowance for the year 2021 for his left knee brace is granted based on evidence that he uses the brace and it tends to wear or tear his clothing.
The deciding factor: The Board finds it highly likely that the regular use of a left knee brace, especially to help ambulate, tends to wear or tear the Veteran's outer garments during the 2021 calendar year.
