OK. This is nwlivewire, the original poster with the SMC (S) (see first posting).
I'm kinda got lost here on this thread as so many others are using this thread for their issues about SMC (S), too!
So, I currently am at 100% P&T
AND I am on SSDI
I don't hardly go anywhere (no car), don't have any desire to mingle with people, and I go to get groceries once or twice a month - that's about it.
But I could really use some help around the house as I can't lift much or run the vacuum cleaner and things like that.
PTSD = 70
Bladder = 60
Lower Back = 40
R. Shoulder = 30
Asthma = 30
Neck = 20
R. Knee = 10
L. Ankle = 10
Tinnitus = 10
What is this TDIU? How is that different that 100% P&T?
Do I need to get a TDIU designation on my 100% P&T to qualify for some help with SMC(S)?
If so, what forms do I need? I live almost 100 miles from the VA, so I could rent a car if I need to.
I am 59 years old - just retired 2 years ago. But I was rated 70% Army and 100% P&T right off the bat in 2012. Got SSDI awarded in 2010 - 2 years before the VA totaled me in 2012.
V/R,
