Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on housebound status prior to January 26, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for SMC as he did not have a single service-connected disability rated at 100 percent plus an additional service-connected disability independently ratable at 60 percent, and his disabilities did not render him permanently housebound prior to January 26, 2021.
