Denied
The Veteran's appeal for special monthly compensation based on loss of use was denied because the service-connected disabilities do not meet the criteria for no effective function other than that which would be equally well-served by amputation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran is capable of walking short distances with a cane and has some degree of effective function in his feet.
