Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) based on the need for regular aid and attendance of another person or housebound status due to an incomplete claims file.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as there are missing documents in the claims file that must be obtained before adjudication can proceed.
