Granted
The Veteran is granted special monthly compensation based on the regular need for aid and attendance of another person, which renders moot the issue of entitlement to SMC at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: Reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran regarding his need for regular aid and attendance due to service-connected disabilities.
