The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an allowance for an automobile or other conveyance, and adaptive equipment, or for adaptive equipment only as there was no evidence of a service-connected disability resulting in loss or permanent loss of use of one or both feet, loss or permanent loss of use of one or both hands, permanent impairment of vision of both eyes, severe burn injury precluding effective operation of an automobile, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or for adaptive equipment only, ankylosis of one or both knees or one or both hips.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric condition caused any of the disabilities listed in 38 C.F.R. § 3.808, and the Veteran was only service connected for a psychiatric disability which had not been medically associated with any physical ailments.
