Denied
The veteran's request for special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance at the R rate was denied because he does not meet the criteria for anatomical loss or loss of use of one or both hands, vision impairment, hearing impairment, or an anatomical loss of use of any extremity.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have service-connected disabilities that qualify for the higher rate of special monthly compensation.
