Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance/housebound to correct a duty to assist error. The Veteran's need for aid and attendance due to service-connected disabilities is unclear.
The deciding factor: The decision was made because the medical opinion did not provide an adequate rationale regarding whether the Veteran's need for Aid & Attendance and/or housebound status is due solely to his service-connected disabilities.
