The Board denied the Veteran's claims for eligibility for specially adapted housing, a special home adaptation grant, and financial assistance in purchasing an automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment. The claim of CUE in the September 14, 2017, rating decision was also denied.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims for specially adapted housing, a special home adaptation grant, or financial assistance due to his service-connected disabilities not meeting the necessary criteria. The claim of CUE in the September 14, 2017, rating decision was also denied as there was no clear and unmistakable error.
