Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance or housebound status due to his service-connected major depression disorder not causing a significant impairment in daily activities.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not demonstrate that the Veteran is permanently bedridden or with such significant disabilities as to be in need of regular aid and attendance as a result of his service-connected psychiatric disorder alone.
