SMC K
I was granted SC for depression (not PTSD) with an effective date of 8/2018. I have been suffering with depression for many years but only recently filed for it. I also have hypertension which currently is not SC, between the depression and hypertension I have ED. My question IF approved for SMC K will it only go back to 8/2018 or will it go back further. It has been mentioned in one of my C&P even though I had not claimed it. But I do show evidence of having ED and and being treated with medication. What are the chances that I will get an earlier effective date? I do have a claim which I started back in February which I have not yet filed anything on. If an…

SMC-K?
Good afternoon, While I don't think anyone is ever pleased to see there rating go down I am happy that my testicle pain went away. Righty was crushed in service. I was denied K because I had successful sex once after my testicle surgery before being placed on drugs. I am also service connected for hypertension and anxiety, which was not considered. However, I am a bit confused about the loss of testicle wording. I had a testicular denervation which means they removed parts of the testicle but not the entire thing. Would this constitute SMC K?

SMC K
This was how my exam was written, I was denied. Not sure how to fight this one? DSM5 Cristerion D for FSD states "The sexual Dysfunction is not better explained by a non sexual mental disorder." In this veteran's case, her absent/reduced interest in sexual activity is better explained--and adequately and sufficiently explained--by her SC non sexual mental disorder. as well as her similarly absent/reduced interest in other typically enjoyed activities like interacting with friends, participating in leisure activities, hobbies, healthful eating, etc. What the hell???? So, if I were a man, and could get a pill then I would get SMC K, but because I am a…

TDIU SMC-S eligible?
I have received 100% IU with an overall rating of 90%. My back rating was just increased from 10% to 20%. I am now scheduled for back surgery next month (not related to this past claim). I have been diagnosed (finally) by an outside surgeon with severe kyphosis and scoliosis. T2-L2 rod with fusion. I plan on applying for a reconsideration with SMC-S. Knowing back rating only goes as high as 60%, what are my chances? Does anyone have advice on which avenue i should take? It would be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon all, I'm new to the forum. I am 100% service connected combat veteran who received 30% for PTSD. Under the USC 1115 it states that I can receive $376 for my 30% rating for special compensation pay. Do I apply for this or is this paid under CRSC? Thank you in advance.

Pendint MST-MST ? SMC-K ?
I have submitted a claim for PTSD-MST back in November of last year. Should I also claim SMC-K for ED now or wait until the original PTSD gets decided and rated (if any) I have been prescribed Viagra for ED for many of the years I have been service connected with my hearing loss. However in my records it just says its for ED Do I need to speak to my VA doctor to see if they believe it is the result of me getting raped in the army. I also took Viagra as a civilian post military, but I could not afford it as it is extremely expensive. The medicins I now take for PTSD make it absolutely and completely impossible to have sexual relations with my wife or even myself. …
