Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request to reinstate special monthly compensation (SMC) based on housebound status. The decision was final and not subject to revision based on clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the veteran's total disability individual unemployability (TDIU) was based solely on PTSD at the time of the September 2016 rating decision.
