Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(r)(2) as he did not require personal health-care services provided on a daily basis in his home by a licensed professional to avoid hospitalization, nursing home care, or other residential institutional care prior to February 10, 2025.
The deciding factor: The evidence established the Veteran was hospitalized and/or in a long-term care facility since February 10, 2025, but did not show he required daily health-care services in his home before that date.
