Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for special monthly compensation (SMC) payable at the rate under 38 U.S.C. � 1114(l) and (r) due to a lack of evidence showing that her service-connected disabilities warranted such compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's mononeuritis multiplex affecting her left lower extremity or bilateral upper extremities manifested as complete paralysis, nor did it establish that she suffered additional hardships above and beyond those contemplated by the schedule for rating disabilities.
