Denied
The Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation SMC(s) was denied as there is no reasonable possibility that any of his service-connected disabilities alone prevent substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected conditions, when considered individually and in combination, do not preclude him from engaging in sedentary work with appropriate accommodations.
