Aid And Attendance - Memory Test?

[Tbird]

Well they got the results back from the memory test and while they didn't use the term swiss cheese that's kind of the impression I got. Which is great for my claim and does prove to myself and my family that yes I really am that forgetful, though you know it's always tough seeing it in black and white, but I've had this problem for awhile and I compensate for it in many ways.

So now anyone care to read the tea leaves? I am wondering from any SMC experts out there what I might expect to get, I have no amputations and am currently rated 100%, 50%, 40%, 0% SMC S + SMC K all different parts of the body, I have also been rated as permanent.

So I am thinking if I get approved this would = SMC L or L1/2 any thoughts from anyone?

The Details of SMC regulations are contained here:

However, the Military order of the Purple Heart has a training manual on SMC that seems to explain it better, here:

Good info thanks for the assist! MOPH is a bit better I think also.

Lorraine,

Not to get off topic but I don't remember getting one of the above : -)

I did have a GREAT VAMC PCP, at one time.

Sorry, got behind on reading posts with the Holidays "at my throat". Guess I goofed, my recollection was that when you had that horrible sinus/tooth episode and were leaving the VA clinic because you were not willing to be seen by a practioner where'd you'd been assaulted, that a nurse came after you to find out why you wouldn't see anybody and that she re-routed you to a female physician. Heck, she could have been a real Nurse Ratchett and complete BEE-ATCH for all I know! I made the erroneous assumption that she'd helped you. Since I'm a retired RN, guess I was hoping that she reached out to you, but have enuf miles behind me to know that often ain't the case!
