Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance or being housebound due to a duty to assist error by the AOJ.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to provide the Veteran with a VA examination despite evidence of service-connected disabilities that may warrant SMC, necessitating corrective action.
