Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a clothing allowance for coal tar topical medication for calendar year 2024 as it was prescribed for seborrheic dermatitis, which is not a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not reflect that coal tar was prescribed for service-connected hemorrhoids during the 2024 calendar year; instead, it was prescribed for seborrheic dermatitis, for which the Veteran is not service connected.
