Partly granted
The Board granted annual clothing allowances for the year 2024 for a back brace and bilateral knee braces, but dismissed the claim for the year 2019.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's credible assertions that his braces caused wear and tear to his clothing, despite VA's previous denial due to the material being flexible and padded.
