Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a higher level of special monthly compensation (SMC) has been remanded. The Board needs more information about the Veteran's lower extremity disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that VA examinations did not address whether there was loss of use of either extremity, and new examinations are needed.
