Granted
The Veteran is granted eligibility for assistance in acquiring specially adapted housing due to the loss of use of both lower extremities, and his appeal seeking a special home adaptation grant is dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected lumbosacral strain and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathies have resulted in the 'loss of use' of both lower extremities so as to preclude locomotion without the aid of a wheelchair, meeting the criteria for specially adapted housing under 38 C.F.R. § 3.809(a).
