Granted
The Board granted entitlement to Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) at the rates under 38 U.S.C. � 1114(o) and 38 U.S.C. � 1114(r)(1), based on the Veteran's need for regular aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran requires the regular aid and attendance of another due to his service-connected PTSD, bilateral peripheral neuropathy, tinnitus, and hearing loss, separate from his other service-connected disabilities.
