Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a special home adaptation grant as there is no evidence of a permanent and total disability that includes the anatomical loss or loss of use of both hands, deep partial thickness burns, full thickness or subdermal burns, or residuals of an inhalation injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found no basis for awarding a special home adaptation grant due to the absence of disabilities meeting the criteria specified in 38 U.S.C. § 2101(b) and 38 C.F.R. § 3.809a.
