SMC-P half step & whole step
I believe I'm underrated I was rated SMC-L 1/2 ( smc-p1 ). Months later I was granted a separate single 100% which move me up to SMC-P2 which is equal to SMC-M.... Should I be rated SMC-P3 which is equal to SMC-M 1/2 ?

SMC O with two SMC L’s both for AA
I currently am awarded SMC L 1/2 on account of AA for panic disorder @100% and then the half step for other disabilities. After a two year battle the BVA judge just granted me service connection for fecal incontinence @60% secondary to IBS @30% and Hemorrhoids @20%. I went and had a separate 21-2680 signed by my doctor that covers the need for AA based solely on my fecal incontinence, IBS and hemorrhoids. Would this qualify as two separate AA’s since these are separate and distinct from the other? I also want to mention I have a 60% rating for urinary incontinence.

Two SMC "L" awards equal an advancement to a SMC "O" award.
First off I am R-1 to include the SMC "O". One "L" for the loss of use of two extremities and the other "L" for A&A. I read a lot of prior BVA decisions. I remember one case where the board awarded A&A, SMC "L". Furthermore, the board said that it refused to award a second SMC "L" for A&A for another separate and distinct condition which would entitle the appellant to SMC "O". Did I dream this up, or can an appellant actually receive two SMC "L" awards by showing two separate and distinct needs for A&A, thereby advancing to SMC "O"? I wish that I had bookmarked the case but it didn't interest me at the time, although it bugs me now! My brain does se…

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
