vperl Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 So as I read that decision and the reg, as stated in the lower messages and from what Pete mentioned in his posting… the lowest should be SMC S Tick tok we will soon know Special Monthly Compensation is explained well in this BVA decision. I have a CUE claim pending for accrued SMC and happened to have this case at hand- it isnt specific to anyone here but contains the SMC regulations and explains them. http://www4.va.gov/vetapp10/files1/1000066.txt The SMC "K" award is the lowest monetary award- with higher levels that award well over the 100% rate.

Berta Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The lowest is actually the Q award but I didnt mention that as no one I know has ever gotten SMC Q- I stand by my post and the VA web site supports me- SMC K is the lowest monetary award. http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/Rates/comp02.htm Tick tock you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vperl Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I think you are correct, as usual. SMC Q is the very lowest rate I may have posed the question so that one may not have understood the question.. or the point of this thread. I was asking and have been told by some folks that the LOWEST rate that would probably be awarded a vet with two 100% Schedulers and an additional 40% would most likely be a SMC of S . I am sorry for any confusion, for you see this poster (Vet ) is not as sharp as those with all the knowledge I do not, and Never will have. The lowest is actually the Q award but I didn't mention that as no one I know has ever gotten SMC Q- I stand by my post and the VA web site supports me- SMC K is the lowest monetary award. http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/Rates/comp02.htm Tick tock you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
vperl
Question:
If a vet has Two separate and different 100% Schedular Awards
One of the awards has been approved and all retro for the first
100% paid.
The second 100% Scheduler soon to be awarded (It is deferred)
Will make two different 100% schedulers….
What is the VA position on this ?
I was told by a very knowledgable person that the VA is required
To pay no higher SMC O, I have no real idea …. Even the regs seem
To be less than ….
So the question, is there a SMC to be awarded, any idea which SMC ?
