Granted
The Board granted service connection for a below-the-knee amputation of the left leg and special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance/housebound.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to a positive nexus opinion linking the condition to active duty, and SMC was granted as the Veteran requires regular aid and attendance due to his service-connected disability.
