Smc For Two 100% Awards

[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 ?

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.

The SMC "K" award is the lowest monetary award- with higher levels that award well over the 100% rate.

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.

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.
