Granted
The Veteran's appeal for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for aid and attendance was granted. The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities require regular assistance from others for daily activities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea, PTSD, migraine headaches, sinusitis, vestibular disorder, back condition, tinnitus, radiculopathy, and TBI, necessitate regular aid and attendance.
