Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to correct an error by the AOJ in satisfying a regulatory or statutory duty, specifically regarding the Veteran's earlier effective date claim for SMC based on aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to an error by the AOJ in failing to consider SMC based on the need for aid and attendance from the date of the increased rating for peripheral neuropathy.
