Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for special monthly compensation based on housebound status, as he did not meet the criteria prior to November 5, 2019.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had a combined service-connected disability rating of less than 100 percent and was not permanently housebound due to his service-connected disabilities before November 5, 2019.
