Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent evaluation for the service-connected PTSD with alcohol disorder, but denied special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's credible reports of intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living and persistent danger of hurting self or others warranted a 100 percent evaluation. However, her additional service-connected disabilities did not meet the criteria for SMC based on the housebound rate.
