to get SMC S , you need one 100% rating and an additional rating of at least 60% , 100% by itself will not get it !!!

[Smc Never Granted For Single 100% Sc Disabillity]

Hi I am just following up on a tpoic I posted in another part of the forum.

My husband has a 100% PTSD rating from 1988. He had initial 30% from 1978 onwards. He got 100% rating after VA CUE'd themselves and stated it should have an earlier effective date. This date was changed 2 times, so we have 3 award letter.

There is no mention on the award letter or the following payments schedule that let us know what payments to expect. I understand that SMC is an "inferred" issue when there is a single disability rated at 100% (no TDIU). So does any one know the procedure here. It he eligible for retro SMC????? If so how to I start the proces i.e. which forms evidence etc.

Any help would be great???

[Clothing Allowance]

I am only rated at 0% for (Residuals, Right Knee Injury, w/ traumatic arthritis under 5010) but I do have an increase in. I also wear a knee brace, but my request for a clothing allowance was denied. Are there certain knee braces that qualify for this clothing allowance?? Thanks

the brace has got to be made out of metal, not plastic !!!
