Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for special monthly compensation at the housebound rate from August 4, 2004, to March 1, 2007, because the veteran did not have a single service-connected disability rated at 100 percent or was not permanently housebound during this period.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not meet the criteria for entitlement to SMC at the housebound rate as he did not have a single service-connected disability rated at 100 percent or a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) based on a single disability during the relevant period.
