Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to March 6, 2023, for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The increase in disability was not shown within one year of the claim, and there is no evidence that the Veteran required regular aid and attendance before March 6, 2023.
