Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a certificate of eligibility for specially adapted housing (SAH) and a special home adaptation (SHA) grant due to his service-connected asthma not meeting the criteria for these benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected asthma, while presumed to be from inhalation injury during deployment to Afghanistan, does not meet the criteria for SAH or SHA grants as it is not considered permanently and totally disabling.
