Denied
The Board denied the restoration of special monthly compensation (SMC) at the housebound rate effective September 1, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for SMC at the housebound rate as he no longer had a single service-connected disability rated at 100 percent disabling with additional service-connected disabilities independently rated at 60 percent or more from September 1, 2021 onward.
