Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) due to procedural issues. The Veteran's need for aid and attendance was intertwined with a service connection severance issue that needs further adjudication.
The deciding factor: The Board found that prior instructions were not substantially complied with, necessitating an additional remand to ensure due process.
