Thank you all!

[Special Monthly Compensation]

I have a disability claim pending decision approval. I've received a unofficial notification from the DAV that the VA is looking to take the following action(s):

1. Evaluation of primary iron deficiency anemia, which is currently 0 percent disabling, is increased to 100 percent effective 9/13/17. The schedule for rating disability has changed for this condition. An evaluation of 30 percent assigned effective 12/9/18, the date of the law change.

2. Entitlement to special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria being met is granted from 9/13/17 to 1/1/19.

I'm currently at 80 percent:

60 percent for gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease

30 percent for migraine and tension headaches

20 percent for hypertension

I was wondering do I qualify for SMC-S (Homebound).
