  1. I am 100% P&T for a variety of conditions (40% TBI, 50% migraines, 50% PTSD, and knee bilateral 20%, etc). My TBI rating should be much higher than 40% but I was always afraid to protest it or try for a higher rating because I have already been awarded 100% P&T so there was no need for me to protest it and I didn’t want to take the risk of getting a other conditions evaluated and rated lower like knee etc. but then I just learned about SMC (T) and I believe I am qualified. I cannot manage my finances, I have memory loss and gave to keep a journal, my mother has to care for me to help with preparing meals, my mother has to manage my finances for me, she has to help me with using the bathroom etc. This is all from my gradual loss of cognitive function over the years since I had multiple TBI’s in 2012 and 2013. I was honorably discharged from the Marines in 2014 and was awarded 100% temporary, which was converted to 100% P&T in 2021. I still have a job though so I am not housebound, but I do require aid and assistance by a family member at home most days, I still have a job while being 100% P&T. Would I qualify for SMC(T)? Is there a risk of other conditions (like knee etc) being reviewed for a new C&P if I file a claim for SMC(T) even if I am already 100% P&T?
