The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly pension based on housebound status as he does not have a single disability rated at 100 percent and additional disabilities ratable at 60 percent or more, nor is he permanently housebound.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not demonstrate that the Veteran had a single disability rated at 100 percent with additional disabilities rated at 60 percent or more, nor was he found to be permanently housebound.
