Granted
The Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance due to his service-connected bilateral retinitis pigmentosa with low vision was granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less as a result of his service connected condition, meeting the criteria for entitlement to special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(l).
