Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him so helpless as to be in need of the regular aid and attendance of another person, particularly in order to protect him from the hazards or dangers incident to his daily environment.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran cannot perform certain vital daily activities himself, including meal preparation, medication management, and driving. His service-connected PTSD with agoraphobia prevents him from easily leaving the home.
