Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and an effective date of August 13, 2019, for the grant of Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) based on the need for aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities have precluded him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment and he has been in need of aid and attendance due to his service-connected conditions.
