Denied
The Veteran's claim for special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance was denied because the evidence did not show that his service-connected disabilities required regular aid and assistance from another person.
The deciding factor: The Veteran is able to dress himself, feed himself, and attend to personal hygiene, among other activities, so he does not meet the criteria for needing regular aid and attendance.
