I can't seem to find anything (not even online) about how mental health and the need for Daily Living help effects the chances of getting SMC and at what rate. I have PTSD and Schizoaffective (Bipolar Type) and documented memory loss from Electric shock treatment. But no where do I find if I qualify for SMC and if I do where I would possibly rate (L+ K?). Can anyone chime in on how Aid and Attendance and mental health works in mental health situations like mine. I am not housebound but do require constant help in and outside the house and Aid and Attendance of another person.
I do have two doctors a psychologist and neurologist who say I need Aid and Attendance and may need nursing home care if I ever have no one to take care of me. I have a paper from VA that says I am catastrophically disabled when it comes to ADL.
I do need help with medications, showers, cooking, transportation and areas regarding my memory loss. I am competent and have no need for a fiduciary. What can I expect regarding my application?
Thanks for any help you can provide in this matter.
