The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevent him from attending to the needs of nature, caring for himself, or protecting himself from the hazards of his environment, thus warranting special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran is so helpless as to be in need of regular aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities, which require care or assistance on a regular basis to protect him from the hazards or dangers inherent in his daily environment.
