Granted
The Veteran was granted special monthly compensation (SMC) based on statutory housebound criteria due to her service-connected PTSD and other disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's symptoms due to her service-connected PTSD alone prohibited her from obtaining and maintaining employment, meeting the criteria for SMC at the housebound rate under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).
