Back to the actual Topic, SMC.

As I and others read/see it, SMC can be granted - - -

When a veteran has multiple conditions that prevent him from working/ traveling to/from a job. This can also be "TDIU", and it's possible that TDIU might be considered a form of SMC.

When a veteran requires help in conducting routine daily living tasks.

When a veteran has a single 100% rating, and multiple ratings beyond the 100% that (according to the VA, etc) are "combined" to be equal or greater than 60%.

When the "Secretary" determines that it is appropriate. (What is appropriate????)

I believe that TDIU rated as 100% + other ratings separately combined to equal 60% should create an entitlement to SMC "S", although this might be argued by the VA RO's, etc.

I really hate phrases in the regs and law that contain the word "may", and would rather see "will".
