The Board denied the veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 and a higher rate of special monthly compensation based on need for aid and attendance, finding that there was no evidence to support the veteran's claims.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the veteran did not have bowel dysfunction or paralysis of both lower extremities together with loss of anal and bladder sphincter control due to disability subject to compensation.
