The Board has remanded the claims for financial assistance in acquiring specially adapted housing, special home adaptation grant, and financial assistance in the purchase of an automobile or adaptive equipment due to their interrelation with the claim for a TDIU based on service-connected disabilities other than PTSD with insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: The claims are being remanded as they are inextricably intertwined with the TDIU claim which has been granted but requires further development and consideration of new evidence.
