Granted
The Board granted service connection for bladder incontinence as secondary to medications taken for hypertension and special monthly compensation (SMC) based on the need for aid and attendance due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a nexus between the Veteran's bladder incontinence and his service-connected hypertension, as well as a factual need for regular aid and attendance of another person due to his service-connected conditions.
