Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a second automobile or other conveyance allowance as more than 10 years had not elapsed since he last received such benefit and 30 years had not passed since his most recent natural disaster-related loss of an automobile.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the clear provisions of the Veterans Auto and Education Improvement Act of 2022, which do not allow for a second allowance until specific time criteria are met.
