Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance, finding no evidence that he was in need of regular aid and attendance prior to February 27, 2014.
The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient evidence indicating a need for aid and attendance from August 21, 2002 to November 14, 2006 due to service-connected disabilities.
