Granted
The Board granted annual clothing allowance benefits for the 2022 and 2023 calendar years for use of a right knee brace and a back brace, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's use of the braces tended to cause wear or tear to his pants and shirts during the relevant calendar years.
