Denied
The Veteran's claim for a special monthly pension (SMP) based on housebound status was denied as the evidence did not show that he required regular aid and attendance or was housebound.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran could perform self-care tasks with some difficulty but was not confined to his dwelling and immediate premises, and could manage his financial affairs, bills, and payments.
