All the info should be here. I posted it yrs ago under my name of "Flip." So I know it's here, I just don't know how to find it and it was on an old computer, that has since crashed and is gone. A past VA employee, that used to post here, shared it w/me to share here.
As for wording, I'd just send something like this:
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your recent proper award of SC for ED, on "insert date here," however, as a result, I believe you have committed a "grevous procedural error," in that I should have been awarded an SMC "k" award, with that award. Please correct that decision, as soon as possible.
Thanking you, in advance, for your anticipated assistance, I remain . . .
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx
