Granted
The Veteran is granted special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for a higher level of aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrates that the Veteran requires daily personal health-care services provided by his wife under regular supervision, which necessitates a higher level of care than the regular aid and attendance allowance.
