Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for eligibility in financial assistance to purchase an automobile or other conveyance and/or adaptive equipment due to his service-connected disabilities not meeting the criteria of loss or permanent loss of use of one or both feet, hands, or any other specified conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities resulted in the loss or permanent loss of use of one or both feet or ankylosis of his knees or hips, which are required for eligibility under 38 C.F.R. § 3.808.
