Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for SMC based on aid and attendance and being permanently housebound to obtain a medical opinion regarding the Veteran's service-connected schizophrenia.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to conflicting evidence regarding whether the Veteran's service-connected schizophrenia renders him in need of care or assistance on a regular basis or permanently housebound.
