Partly granted
The Board denied entitlement to special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for aid and attendance of another person, but granted SMC based on housebound criteria from February 11, 2010, to April 1, 2011.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not meet the criteria for SMC based on the need for regular aid and attendance, but he was entitled to SMC at the housebound rate due to a single disability rated 100 percent from February 11, 2010, to April 1, 2011.
