Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) as there was no single service-connected disability rated at 60 percent or more, and the criteria for a TDIU were not met.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not have a single service-connected disability rated as totally disabling, and thus, the criteria for SMC under section 1114(s) were not met.
