Granted
The Veteran was granted a higher level of special monthly compensation (SMC) at the intermediary level of SMC(m) 1/2, but not higher.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including OSA and migraines rated at 50 percent each, warranted an increase to the next intermediate step in SMC compensation.
