SMC J; SMC S, What to file for?

Rate this question


THOMAS89031

Question

Scenario:   VA awarded veteran a 100% PT IHD Agent Orange Claim (Nehmer) filed back in 2010.   But neglected to award SMC.

When you file, should  you request SMC J or SMC S?  (SMC (j) is 2673mo; SMC  (s) is 2993 mo.)

Do you mention Bradley vs Peake  or Nehmer provisions?

 Do you indicate its being filed as a CUE or just say:________etc,etc.......

Any other opinions?   Thanks

I do get SMC-S1   rated at 170%

its about 347.15 month with spouse as dependent more than what 100%pays

but if you have SMC S AND K OR MORE THAN ONE smc and more dependents its more per month.

Asknod helped a Veteran get all of the SMC's and he is getting over 8 grand a month now.

But he's not getting SMC J. Is that a monthly entitlement to Left-handed tobacco from VA? I also am in the hunt for a Vet in Arizona for R1, Buck. I'm certain that one's in the bag. They screwed up and gave him two SMC Ks -one for each leg but-wait for it- they'd already given him Aid and Attendance (SMC L). Idiot's delight. If you have loss of use of two extremities, it's an automatic SMC L. Now, by law,  he's entitled to SMC O -but- if one of your ratings at SMC O is A&A, you advance automatically to R1. A BVA judge pulled off that brain fart. He took it all the way up by himself but wisely grabbed a rainmaker for the CAVC. Another graduate of the Win or Die club who read my book. This is more fun than getting your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stones.
