I feel distraught. What do you do when you need help, but the Va says you don't hurt enough and denies your aid and attendance? They rated me as !00% combined but said I don't meet the criteria for smc aa. They said my medical record show I require some assistance with bathing and other hygiene tasks, my service connected conditions do not meet criteria for a grant of special compensation based on the need for an aid. In order to be eligible, my service connected disability must be totally disabling and be the sole cause or contribute to the need for aid and attendance. I have no service connected disability evaluated at 100 percent. They said if I had disabilities resulting from the same disease process and/or certain combinations of primary and secondary disabilities, they could consider that. But in my case, everything for my back adds up to only 90%. They said they couldn't add the fibromyalgia 40%, depression 70%, or neck 10% into that formula. I've been shifting from crying to being lifeless for the past week. Where am I suppose to turn for help now? What am I suppose to do? I think the worst part of the rating, is that it feels like someone got an in dept look at my life and screamed back at me, that nothing I am going through is taken seriously by any one.
