Granted
The Veteran is granted an increased level of Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) due to the need for regular aid and attendance at a higher level of care for service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's need for daily personal health-care services by a medical professional or under their supervision, which would require institutional care if absent.
