Hey Bam- with the bilateral factors for the Hips i got 93 to so if we are right you would only need another 20% to get over the 95 mark......

I have never heard of anyone receiving special monthly compensation for flatfeet but looking thru the Board of Appeals forum i ran across this case which was awarded special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance for pes planus......

Ex-navy Musician: It's almost impossible to give an honest reply -But be happy and look at it as money in the bank with interest....Congratulations to you that should be a nice sum.........

you had problems with your feet during active service and was it documented if so appeal the denial the fact being the active service aggravated you Flatfeet which are worse after your tour then they were before you entered Are you seeing a podiatrist if not start seeing one compare your foot condition NOW to before you entered.

March, 13, 2015 was denied my petition for extraordinary relief In the nature of a writ of mandamus by the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. it was denied what is this Judgment for??? Today I received a Judgment which only stated this.. The court has issued a decision in this case. The time allowed for motions under Rule 35 of the Courts Rules of Practice and Procedure has expired. Under Rule 36, judgment is entered and effective this date. Dated: June 22, 2015 That is all there was nothing else...anyone have any idea of what this means????

Crazyhorse3022: yes i have SMC at the S-rate ..exactly what are you looking for????

The BVA remanded my claim for loss of use lower extremities to the RO via appeals management center 3/13/2014 the reason being they say the records show I have never been afforded a VA examination I filed this claim 12/2008 on 3/11/2010 i had a VA compensation & pension examination which has been totally OverLooked by the RO,reconsideration and the BVA. It was remanded from the CAVC 6/13/2013 informing them of there mistake . The Court states they made the error for overlooking the favorable evidence therefore i think a decision should be made with the overlooked evidence not a new examination. Below the Court Conclusion. The March 2010 VA examiner opined that Mr. xxxxxx had loss of use of his lower extremities that was related to his service-connected cervical and lumbar spine disabilities and painful feet. See R. at 801 ("It is at least as likely as not that the cervical condition is the cause of loss of use of the lower extremities, causing walking limitation."), 803 ("It is at least as likely as not that the lumbar condition is the cause of loss of use of the lower extremity functioning causing walking limitations."), 804 ("It is least as likely as not that part of the cause of loss of use of the lower extremities is due to the painful feet."). Although the Board mentioned the March 2010 VA examination, it did not expressly discuss the foregoing statements, which tend to support Mr.xxxxxxx's claim that he is entitled to SMC for loss of use of his lower extremities. The Board's failure to account for this potentially favorable evidence thus renders inadequate its statements of reasons or bases for its decision. The Court therefore concludes that remand is warranted, 11 Vet.App. 369, 374 (1998) (holding that remand is the appropriate remedy "where the Board has incorrectly applied the law, failed to provide an adequate statement of reasons or bases for its determinations, or where the record is otherwise inadequate"). On remand, Mr. xxxxxx is free to present any additional argument and evidence pertaining to his claim for SMC to the Board in accordance with 12 Vet.App. 369, 372-73 (1999) (per curiam order).v 16 Vet.App. 529, 534 (2002). The Court reminds the Board that "[a] remand is meant to entail a critical examination of the justification for [the Board's] decision," Fletcher v. Derwinski 1 Vet.App. 394, 397 (1991), and must be performed in an expeditious manner in accordance with 38 U.S.C. § 7112 Upon consideration of the foregoing, the portion of the April 24, 2012, Board decision denying entitlement to SMC for loss of use of the lower extremities is SET ASIDE and the claim is REMANDED for readjudication consistent with this decision. Thank you. Dated: June 12, 2013
