Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a higher level of special monthly compensation (SMC) under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(k), (l), and (r).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the need for regular aid and attendance due to service-connected disabilities, nor was there evidence supporting other criteria for higher SMC.
