The Veteran's appeal for a higher rating for urinary incontinence and special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance was denied. The evidence did not support an increased rating for urinary incontinence, which is currently rated at 20 percent. Special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance was also denied as there were no findings indicating that the Veteran required regular assistance due to her service-connected conditions.

The Veteran's benefits are apportioned to his child, M.D., as the Veteran is not reasonably discharging his responsibility for supporting her.
