Granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 28, 2018 for aid and attendance of a spouse based on the evidence submitted with the initial claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that entitlement to aid and attendance arose with the September 2018 private examination as it outlined the same needs as identified in the October 2021 VA examination.
