The Veteran was granted additional aid and attendance allowance, special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. 1114, subsection (o), and special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. 1114, subsection (p) effective November 4, 2002.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition deteriorated to the point that he required a higher level of aid and attendance effective November 4, 2002, based on his service-connected cerebrovascular accident residuals, right lower extremity hemiparesis, left lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, and associated cognitive deficits.
