Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an earlier effective date of special monthly compensation (SMC) at the aid and attendance rate until hearings have been completed on other pending appeals.
The deciding factor: The appropriate effective date for SMC could be impacted by the outcome of the pending July 2022, August 2022, or November 2023 appeals, making final adjudication premature at this time.
