I have seen a few posts on other sites where some vets are telling vets that 100% is the MAX we can get!
This is not true. While 100% for one condition IS the MAX if you have other conditions and they add up to 60% then your compensation will go up based on an SMC benefit awarded. The rate tables for the SMC awards are at the same area as the regular rates just click of the SMC rates on that page and it opens up.
IN SMC it is based on severity if you have 60% then it would be SMC-S or housebound there is also rates for missing hands feet and eyes just look at the tables for SMC N M and so on.
Now when you have been awarded 100% for your Heart as I have I also was awarded SMC-S housebound because I met the % needed by my other disabilities.
Also the figure in the SMC chart is what you will be comped at not adding the other chart to this chart.
In my case at 100% + S and SMC-K (for ED) I get a check each month of 3,352.00 I thing.
