Granted
The Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with residuals of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in the requirement of aid and attendance, necessitating regular assistance to prevent hospitalization or other residential institutional care.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that without regular aid and attendance provided by home health care professionals, the Veteran would require hospitalization, nursing home care, or other residential institutional care due to his service-connected PTSD with TBI residuals.
