Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for vertigo and special monthly compensation (SMC) based on aid and attendance due to a procedural issue with the appeal of SMC.
The deciding factor: The claim is being remanded because it involves toxic exposure risk activities and requires a medical examination, as well as an opinion regarding aggravation by a service-connected disability.
