lynno Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but could not find an answer. I am 60% service connected, 50% loss of right leg below the knee and %10 PTSD. Anyway my question is would I qualify for SMC due to limb loss?

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted October 31, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) at 60 percent you should draw $1012.00 provided you are single with no dependants.Are you paying life insurance premiums? or some other deduction? Your numbers dont add up. If you are not paying extra file the cue for it is what it is. John Edited October 31, 2008 by jbasser A Veteran is a person who served this country.

theotherguy Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 At 50% s/c with a spouse and a child your rate would be $850 per month and with SMC K (additional $91) you'd be at $941 a month which is close to what you are reporting.... I'm not sure what to tell you, are you receiving a nonservice-connected pension as the greater benefit perhaps? You could simply call your POA and ask him/her whether or not you are already receiving the "K" award...it a relatively easy question for them to research and answer quickly.

theotherguy Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 jbasser, With all due respect, I was responding to his more recent response clarifying that he is 50 percent combined. It was not an attempt to show anyone up and I'm sure you'll see this is the case if you read the entire thread from the beginning. Regardless, the compensation amount doesn't add up and we're going to need more information before anyone is going to be able to help resolve this question.

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted October 31, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 31, 2008 I did not mean anything by posting it. I agree we need more info. I think I have it figured out. He is getting his SMC minus a Life insurance premium. Peace. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.
