Granted
The Veteran is granted a higher level of special monthly compensation (SMC) at the intermediate rate between 38 U.S.C. § 1114 subsections (l) and (m).
The deciding factor: The Veteran has additional service-connected disabilities independently ratable at 50 percent or more, which qualifies him for a higher level of SMC.
