- Granted
The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) on the basis of aid and attendance due to her service-connected disabilities, which include major depressive disorder, Raynaud's Syndrome, migraine headache, and a sinus disability. The decision is based on the need for regular aid and assistance from another person.

- Denied
The Board denied a compensable initial disability rating for Raynaud's Syndrome, finding that the Veteran did not present with characteristic attacks occurring one to three times per week.
