Granted
The Veteran is granted special monthly compensation (SMC) at the rate established in 38 U.S.C. § 1114(m) based on his service-connected coronary artery disease and other disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's need for regular aid and attendance was due to his service-connected coronary artery disease, and he is entitled to two intermediate rate increases for his service-connected PTSD and obstructive sleep apnea.
