Partly granted
The veteran was denied SMC for aid and attendance but granted eligibility for specially adapted housing. The issue of a special home adaptation grant was dismissed, and the entitlement to SMC based on the loss of use of both feet was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran has not required aid and attendance due to service-connected disabilities at any point in the appeal period.
