Moderator broncovet Posted February 26, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2011 Pete Yes, it sounds like you qualify for "Aid and Attendance" to me. Quite a bit on A and A is here http://www.hadit.com/aid_and_attandance_va_benefit.html Rates are here: http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/Rates/comp02.htm Altho I wont speculate on your condition, I may guess it would be SMC L Bottom Line: Apply for A and A and let them sort it out.

Broncovet, I believe you are right as I do not see anywhere that it states that SMC L will not be paid in lieu of services from the VA, only deductions due to hospitalization. Pete53...GO FOR IT, and request retro from the time the VA stated giving you the service, as that in itself, INFERS the claim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: Pete53, had Congress INTENDED otherwise, they would have stated it in the code, which they didn't!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted February 27, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks for the replies from everyone. I will think about this some more but I am leaning to ask for a higher rating. BTW the VA had their home health people come out to my house and I was reapproved.

When I meet other Vets who have legit claims, and they don't file for them, I explain that all they are doing is allowing politicians to serve expensive hors d'oeuvres at their parties, compliment of his/her injury(ies)/disease(s).........
