Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to special monthly compensation (SMC) based on aid and attendance for an aid and attendance examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error as the Veteran has not been afforded a VA examination for aid and attendance, and evidence suggests he may require assistance with activities of daily living.
