Granted
The Veteran's eligibility for specially adapted housing (SAH) is granted due to the loss of use of both lower extremities resulting from service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded locomotion without the aids of braces, crutches, canes, or a wheelchair due to the loss of use of both lower extremities.
