Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance due to a review of the evidence showing that the Veteran did not require regular aid and assistance from another person or was housebound due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support that the Veteran had physical or mental incapacity requiring care or assistance on a regular basis due to his service-connected disabilities, thus he did not meet the criteria for SMC based on aid and attendance.
