Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, specifically his knee conditions, resulted in the need for regular aid and attendance, thus granting special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance status.
The deciding factor: The July 2022 VA examiner stated that the Veteran was unable to prepare meals and needed assistance with bathing and tending to other hygiene needs due to knee pain. The Board found these conditions make him so helpless as to be in need of regular aid and attendance.
