HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted August 29, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 29, 2008 As long as the Veteran is 100 percent P and T schedular then I say yes, unless it is for PTSD. SMC is issued for a serious disability such as loss of use of one hand and foot or for a Vet who has a single 100 percent rating along with another (or combination) that equals 60 percent. SMC S J 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...

SMC S J i talked to dav about this and they said mood disorder is a ratable issue and if they rate it 100 percent then that counts towards a schedular 100% but what about ptsd?? see im at 90 dav says i need 3 more ratable 10 percents or 30 percent or greater to kick the iu and go to schedular 100% plus i still have 2 more years left on my voc rehab entitlement to and im worried about that to see i have a bunch of stuuf going on schedular rate then smc cloth allowance i just put in so i dont know whats gonna happen to me rating wise im real nervous right now finishing c and p exams because they did audio and if your hearings improved my viet nam friend told me audio is the one the va proposes to down grade i dont know but im nervous Edited August 29, 2008 by trez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physical disabilities are look at differently. If you have loss of use of one hand and one foot you will get 100 percent schedular. Now if you work at a job which allows a lot of sitting, they don't care how fast you walk and it only requires one hand then you are capable of working and so you can work. A job such as maybe an analyst of some type etc.... would fit this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
