Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for special monthly compensation based on housebound status and an earlier effective date than August 31, 2020, for a total disability based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran met the criteria for SMC at the housebound rate or that he was entitled to an earlier effective date for TDIU.
