The Veteran's TDIU is based on a single disability, and she has other separate disabilities that combine to greater than 60 percent disabling. Therefore, the Board grants entitlement to special monthly compensation based on statutory housebound criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's TDIU is solely based on her psychiatric disability, which counts as a single service-connected disability rated at 100 percent, and she has other disabilities that combine for a rating greater than 60 percent. This meets the criteria for statutory housebound special monthly compensation.
