Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher level of special monthly compensation (SMC) based on aid and attendance due to an inadequate examination report.
The deciding factor: The January 2021 VA examination is found to be inadequate, as it conflicts with the Veteran's credible lay statements and does not adequately consider his reported limitations.
