Granted
The Veteran's claim for a stair glide was granted as he requires the use of such equipment to safely enter and exit his home and access the only full bathroom on the second floor.
The deciding factor: The physical therapist's evaluation confirmed that the Veteran's mobility is significantly limited by dementia, necessitating the use of a stair glide for safety reasons.
