Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on aid and attendance is remanded. The Board will consider new evidence submitted within 90 days from receipt of the VA Form 10182.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was never provided a VA examination for aid and attendance and housebound status, warranting a remand to provide the Veteran with a VA examination.
