The veteran is granted special monthly compensation based on the need of aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities. The temporary total rating under the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 4.29, based on hospitalization in excess of 21 days, is dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The veteran's special monthly compensation claim was granted because he meets the criteria for aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities, including loss of use of a creative organ (right hand and right foot) and need for regular aid and attendance. The temporary total rating claim was dismissed as moot since the veteran is already in receipt of a 100% disability rating.

- Granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for hemorrhoids, which fully satisfies the Veteran's appeal.
