The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a certificate of eligibility for financial assistance in the purchase of an automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment, as his sole service-connected disability does not meet the criteria for such assistance.
The deciding factor: The Veteran is not service-connected for paraplegia with loss of bowel and bladder control, which results in the loss of use of his bilateral lower extremities, and his sole service-connected disability of schizophrenic reaction, paranoid type, does not result in the physical loss or permanent loss of use of one or both hands or feet, permanent impairment of vision of both eyes of the severity specified by regulation, scar formation resulting from severe burn injury, ALS, or ankylosis of one or both knees or hips.
