Granted
The Board reversed the November 2021 determination to revoke the award of special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for regular aid and attendance, finding that it was not undebatable that the criteria for SMC were met.
The deciding factor: The evidence included factors weighing both for and against a finding that the Veteran was regularly in need of the aid and attendance of another, but ultimately, it was at least debatable whether or not those criteria are met.
