Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 100 percent evaluation for pericarditis and special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria, effective November 1, 2024.
The deciding factor: The reduction in rating was improper as there was no actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
