Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him in need of regular aid and attendance, thus granting special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for regular aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran was unable to perform daily activities due to his service-connected conditions, necessitating regular assistance from another person.
