Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s) for the period from August 25, 2021 through May 15, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for SMC as he was not in receipt of a single disability rated as 100 percent disabling with an additional disability independently rated at 60 percent or more, nor were his service-connected disabilities rendering him unable to leave the immediate premises of his home.
