Just wanted to provide a followup on the Mission Act for Dental Care I mentioned in this post. Everything I have read doesn't mention anything about dental care. Well today I received a call from the Chief Dental doctor at the VA Hospital I use. He told me he will allow outside dental care for me, but VA will need to find a provider in my area first that they will approve. We'll see how that goes.

GeekySquid Yep...Thanks for all the help.

GeekySquid Thanks for all the help, information and expertise.

GeekySquid This is what and how it is listed on ebenefits now as of the 100% award.

GeekySquid Good Morning, I was just reading over my award letter from 4 Nov.

GeekySquid "In effect, based on what you say here, you have a STATUTORY right to SMC(s). "

Everything posted.

GeekySquid Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to file the regular route. I don't feel confident enough to file a CUE.

Thanks for all the advise. I'm going to get stuff together and file for SMC(s), via the 60% rule. Can't hurt to try.

I have looked at the SMC-S before but saw there was form for "house bound" that needed to be filled out by a doctor.

GeekySquid Yes I just check the Letters on ebenefits and it shows 100% P&T.

Fee Base is provided when the VA allows you to be treated by and outside Dentist or maybe something else, that they per approved. The outside Dentist needs to agree to the VA payment schedule for covered treatments. It take a week or so to set it up unless the VA already has a provider approved in your area. They don't like using it a lot. They stopped mine after a few visits. I liked it, I guess that's why they stopped it.

Called the VSO and they were no help at all.

Yes on e benefits my rating shows final 100% degree rating too.

Buck52 Thanks for the reply.
