The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance due to her service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran is restricted to either her home or bedridden as a result of her service-connected PTSD, nor does it reflect an inability to dress herself, feed herself, tend to the wants of nature, or a physical or mental incapacity requiring assistance to protect the Veteran from certain hazards or dangers.
