The Veteran's surviving spouse is denied entitlement to automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment, as well as a grant for specially adapted housing or special home adaptation, due to these benefits not being considered periodic monetary payments subject to accrued benefits.
The deciding factor: The payment of automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment or a grant for specially adapted housing or special home adaptation is not a periodic monetary benefit for which accrued benefits may be authorized.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
