Partly granted
The Board granted special monthly compensation for loss of use of the feet and aid and attendance, but denied it for loss of use of the hands.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral lower extremities caused a loss of use of his feet, necessitating regular aid and attendance. However, there was no evidence that his hand symptoms met the criteria for loss of use.
