Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of an earlier effective date for the grant of special monthly compensation (SMC) based on aid and attendance due to a procedural error in the prior decision.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to adjudicate the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date, thus denying him due process.
