Application For Increased Compensation

[cjevans]

I've recently been awarded 100% Permanent and Total Disability. In reading (probably too much) information I'm confused.

Am I entitiled to More Compensation than I aleready have (SMC at the S Rate).??

Someone just give me a heads up.

Thank You!

SMC is paid in the place of regular disability compensation. SMC K is the only exception, and it is paid in addition to either regular disability compensation, or another SMC award (like yours).

Thanks again Rentalguy. I was just confused when I started reading about the TDIU compensation for Unemployability. Take Care!

If you are rated as 100% schedular for a single disability the VA is supposed to consider you for housebound. They almost never do it that unless you claim it. You have to be housebound as defined to get it, but the VA is supposed to consider it and rule it in or out. If you feel that your disability renders you HB then file a claim for it.
