Dismissed
The appeals regarding special monthly compensation (SMC) based on housebound criteria, audit for retroactive payments for SMC, and SMC based on aid and attendance at a higher R-1 rating were dismissed due to duplicative claims or improper appeal procedures.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's NODs did not properly address the AOJ's implementation of the Board's grant and were therefore dismissed under 38 U.S.C. § 7105(d).
