Granted
The Veteran's claim for a clothing allowance for 2022 for his left knee brace was granted, as the evidence at least approximates equipoise concerning whether he consistently wore the brace.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's consistent use of the brace and the type of orthopedic appliance that tends to cause clothing wear and tear.
