The Board denied the claim for special monthly pension based on the need for regular aid and attendance of another person, as there was no evidence showing a factual need for such assistance.
The deciding factor: There is no indication that the Appellant has a factual need for aid and attendance of another person, and she does not require care or assistance on a regular basis to protect her from hazards or dangers incident to her daily environment.
