Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claim for an allowance for an automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment due to his service-connected residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left foot and left leg, which result in a permanent loss of use of his feet.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran has a service-connected disability that results in the permanent loss of use of his feet, and entitlement to an allowance for an automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment or for adaptive equipment only is warranted.
