If you did not notice this, the VA is proposing incompetency, according to what you posted. You need to address this, if you have not already.

Also, according to the way I interpret what you posted, you are 100 + 70, and eligible for SMC S under Bradley vs Peake. You would want to deal with both issues, but it is unlikely to matter whether you get SMC S or not if some crooked VA attorney winds up stealing all your money anyway as your fiduciary. If your wife or someone like this is your fiduciary, however, and you are comfortable with this, then leave it alone. But, unless there is a compelling reason, you do not ever want the VA to pick out your fiduciary for you...YOU want to do the picking. Probably a family member or trusted friend.
