Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for regular aid and attendance is remanded. The Board requires a new VA examination to assess the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and their impact on daily living.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there has not been substantial compliance with previous remand directives, necessitating another remand.
