Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on aid and attendance/housebound status. The veteran does not meet the criteria for regular aid and attendance due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The veteran is able to perform activities of daily living independently and does not require regular care or assistance to protect from hazards in the daily environment.
