Granted
The Veteran required the regular aid and attendance of another person to carry out activities of daily living due to his service-connected disabilities prior to his death, thus granting special monthly compensation for substitution purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities necessitated regular assistance for most activities of daily living.
