Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an allowance for an automobile or other conveyance, and adaptive equipment, or adaptive equipment only due to a lack of evidence showing that his service-connected disabilities resulted in the actual or permanent loss of use of either his hands or feet, or ankylosis of the knees.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities met any of the criteria for eligibility under 38 U.S.C. § 3901 and 38 C.F.R. § 3.808.
