Fast Letter 09-25

SUBJ: Special Monthly Compensation at the "k" Level for Eligible Women Veterans

Background Information

A special review was conducted of all records of Women Veterans granted service connection for injury or disease of the breast and/or reproductive system. The review, completed on April 16, 2009, yielded the names of 1,769 Women Veterans who were granted service connection for mastectomy under diagnostic code 7626 and/or hysterectomy under diagnostic codes 7617, 7618, and 7619, but are not receiving special monthly compensation (SMC) as warranted under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(k)/38 C.F.R. § 3.350(a).

Regional offices (RO) were recently provided spreadsheet listings of cases that must be manually reviewed to determine entitlement to SMC "k." This fast letter provides guidance for processing reviews and determining appropriate effective dates.

    Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.

    Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.

    exclamation-mark-orange-gold.jpg How To Post

    Post a clear title like

    Need help preparing PTSD claim or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of  ‘I have a question."

    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?

    Note:

    Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

    This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
