Granted
The Veteran's service-connected left ankle disability required an additional one month of convalescence, and he is entitled to special monthly compensation based on housebound status.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran required an additional month of convalescence following surgery for his left ankle disability and met the criteria for special monthly compensation due to having a 100% service-connected disability with an additional 60% or more service-connected disability.
