Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 100 percent rating for psychiatric disability and Meniere's disease, but denied SMC based on the need for regular aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those contemplated by a 100 percent rating due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas. The evidence did not support the claim for SMC based on the need for regular aid and attendance.
