Partly granted
The veteran's effective date for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on a neurocognitive disability and hemiplegia was granted as of April 22, 1995. However, SMC under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(t) was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected conditions rendered him helpless and in need of regular aid and attendance from April 22, 1995.
