Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for a clothing allowance for the right knee brace was granted, while claims for allowances related to topical medications were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the right knee brace caused damage to the Veteran's clothing, but there was no service-connected skin condition associated with the use of the topical medications.
