The only way this would be even remotely possible would be if the Army issued you armor, and you chose to wear the Dragon Skin instead and got a penetrating injury that the issued armor was rated to have stopped.
Then you could theoretically have an LOD investigation with an LOD-No determination.
Given the likelihood of that happening with the Dragon Skin's improved armor rating over the issued gear, and the reluctance of DA to screw with the benefits of a KIA's familiy members, I suspect that the issue is moot.
If you wore the Dragon Skin in lieu of the issue armor after being ordered not to do so, you could be UCMJed for Failure to Obey.
Just my .02, YMMV.
