he was awarded the highest rate of disability claim you can get. The issue is that when they were evaluation him for the smc, the records reflected his loss use of his lower limbs and upper (r) limb but it was upper (r) and (l) along with the other issues qualifying him for the smc-r2. the medical examiner informed the rater of that. Again, the award for the smc-r2 was given using the documentation from the medical examiners report that stated new medical findings found but ro instructed the doctor not to evaluate. I didn't catch that statement until after the award given and back dated to 2015 which is when I put the claim in for the smc-r2. So, I went back using the same note from the doctor proving he was like that in 2013 when they awarded him smc o and p. I know the better thing to do was to within the year of that award was to appeal for earlier effective date. I didn't catch it then. since it was after the appeal time frame I decided to go after it thru cue as again, I read that the new findings should have at least been put into pending if not adjudicated. Remember, it was a claim for smc, and all evidence found was needed to determine the level of smc, The claim was for smc award
