0 Gastone Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just because you have a "Dead Weapon," what makes you think it's an automatic SMC K Award? Did the Award Letter state ED Denied or ED SC 0%? If it was SC 0%, dependant on the EED, there should be a Retro Check @ about $104 per month hitting your Direct Deposit Account. To take the guesswork out of this, how about posting a redacted copy of your Award/Denial Letter. Generally speaking, Retro Awards always hit well in advance of the Award Letters receipt. Has your eBen site updated your SC's recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted March 9, 2018 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) If I am understanding your statment correctly? In the last few years they don't give a S.C. Percent above 0% for E.D. They service connect it at 0% usually to an already S.C. Condition that can cause the E.D. In your case the Medications that you take for an already S.C. Condition. However your still entitled to about 103/104** per month added into your Present compensation. As member Gastone mention you might check your Bank Account you may have been getting the 104.month and never knew it?

0 Gastone Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 JM, one of your eBen Award Information Letters should state if you are now receiving the SMC K Award for the ED/DD condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator broncovet Posted March 9, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2018 Its possible, or even likely, that your decision maker "did not know" that you need not be 100 percent to get SMC. Alex correctly pointed out that you can get SMC at less than 100 percent, but not everyone knows that..SMC is misunderstood, even/especially by VA employees. Consider filing a NOD disputing the lack of SMC K, which should have been inferred, but apparently was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
