The Veteran's claim for an allowance for an automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment was denied because he did not have any service-connected disabilities that meet the eligibility criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a service-connected disability resulting in the loss or permanent loss of use of one or both hands or feet, which is required to qualify for financial assistance in the purchase of an automobile or other conveyance or adaptive equipment under 38 C.F.R. § 3.808.
