0 eagle1012004 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This is a new claim and can be submitted online. Be sure to send all supporting evidence as well. Give them everything they need to make a decision. All the best on this new claim. Its time to be patient again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FormerMember Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Special monthly compensation for "k" is due and owing upon presentation of qualifying evidence of the disability and the date the disability arose. As such, it is not a claim. Submit proof of the disability to the Evidence Intake Center for your region. Be sure to include any and all medical evidence from your doctor(s) proving the condition or loss of use and the date it can be shown you first began to qualify for it. If an amputation, show date(s) of surgery and location. A good picture will speed things up, too. SMC is not a claim. It is an entitlement. You merely need prove you have met the requirement(s)and when. As such, a 21-4138 requesting pay for it and a 21-2680 signed by the doctor attesting to the facts surrounding the entitlement (if an actual amputation) would be helpful. I'd be tempted to use a 21-526 EZ to file for it as VA folk are becoming addicted to the forms. A 526 can only mean you want something involving $. 4138s are so overused now, they tend to be overlooked or ignored.
