tssnave Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Pete - what is SMC? Rich - I'm confused, there's a pay rate scale higher than 100%? What's with the alphabet soup? Ed - thanks for sharing and hang in there. TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted August 10, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) SMC is a special monthly compensation based on loss of use. Itis controlled by an alphabet system such as SMC-K. You can look it up at the Va web site, Compensation rates. Edited August 10, 2007 by jbasser A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSGMike.Ivy Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 2905 sounds high...perhaps you did get some SMC after all. Not high enough considering what he is going through SSGMike.Ivy Vietnam Veteran 4th Infantry Division October 1968-October 1969 U.S. Army retired Jr. Vice Commander Father Vincent Capodanno Chapter 1101 Military Order of the Purple Heart "To be a Veteran one must know and determine one's price for freedom."
