Granted
The Board granted special monthly compensation for loss of use of both feet and SMC based on the award of two distinct rates of SMC(l) due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed severe foot pain, weakness, and functional limitations that significantly limited the Veteran's ability to ambulate, stand, walk, and transfer, necessitating constant use of a wheelchair.
