Granted
The Veteran's claim for SMC based on housebound status was granted, as the evidence supports that he is substantially confined to his dwelling due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found the criteria for housebound-in-fact are met based on the Veteran's inability to leave his home and the severity of his PTSD symptoms.
