Granted
The Board granted a clothing allowance for calendar year 2020 due to the use of prescribed skin ointments and medications, as well as for a right knee brace.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the topical medications used to treat his service-connected skin disability caused irreparable damage to his outergarments, and the right knee brace he uses for his service-connected disability caused wear and tear to his clothing.
