The Board granted entitlement to special monthly compensation at the R-2 level for a higher level of special aid and attendance based on the need for daily care by a licensed professional or someone under their supervision.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted, particularly from VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC), showed that the Veteran required daily care which would have necessitated inpatient or residential care if not provided.
