Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 20 percent for paresthesia of the left index finger related to TIA, as well as entitlement to a total disability based on individual unemployability and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities caused him to require regular aid and attendance due to his inability to keep himself ordinarily clean and presentable, attend to the wants of nature, and protect himself from daily hazards.
