SMC S is only for housebound?

[Trying to figure out if a qualify for SMC S]

I am currently employed, so VBA may have felt HB was not authorized.  Confusing to me as to why they included form 21-526.  I've already sent in a NOD for effective date Sept 2014.  Wasn't sure about SMC-S criteria since I'm not IU.  Without IU, appears I am entitled to file under 100% plus 60%. Knowing that will help to word the response, and if the CUE applies to filing for SMC - S, I can state that in my letter.

You guys are outstanding- appreciate the support.

Hi Berta, 

My mistake, I was listing SC percentages from ebenefits.  Sorry for the confusion.  Appreciate your response.

To clarify I do get SMC K

The most current rating letter it list under Issue/Contention states:

CAD with hypertensive heart disease (also claimed as chest pain, shortness of breath and angina) (previously rated as left ventricular hypetrophy (DC7011))

60% assigned and

Explanation:

We have assigned a 60 percent evaluation for your left ventricular hypertrophy.....

A higher evaluation of 100% is not warranted for arteriosclerotic heart disease ....

VA does not state anything about further SMC but did mention DEA Chapt 35 eligibility/granted.

Your overall or combined rating is:

90%   Effective date Apr 1, 2009

100% Effective date Sept 26, 2014

Long time  reader, first time posting. Confused about SMC.  100% SC P&T scheduler. Confused because in my last letter RO sent form 21-526 but no explanation if I should complete.  I still have 2 unrated claims for lumbar spine and sciatica - which are currently rated at 0% service connected.  Been through a C&P for both.  Would I qualify for SMC?
