The Veteran's claims for eligibility in acquiring specially adapted housing and special home adaptations were denied due to the absence of a compensable, service-connected disability that meets the statutory and regulatory criteria.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran did not meet any of the required criteria under 38 U.S.C. § 2101; 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.809 or 3.809a, as he had no service-connected disabilities that precluded locomotion without assistive devices or other specified conditions.
