Granted
The Veteran's service-connected retinitis pigmentosa with field defects left and right eye meets the criteria for eligibility in acquiring an automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment, or adaptive equipment only.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's visual field defect subtends an angular distance no greater than 20 degrees in the better eye, thus granting the benefit of the doubt.
