Question
MikeS
Hi all:
I just received a letter from my service officer about the decision on my claim for SMC Housebound.
I work my claims myself but I submit them through a service officer whose office is in my RO.
I have not yet received the official decision from the VA, but I thought that I would throw this out to you all to see what you think.
I was 70% PTSD TDIU T&P when I filed for SMC Housebound last August.
"A combined evaluation of 100% has been assigned as a result of the following actions:
1. Evaluation of PTSD with Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and Depressive Disorder which is currently 70% disabling is increased to 100%, effective August 1, 2010.
2. Entitlement to Special Monthly Compensation based on the need for aid and assistance or being housebound due to service connected disability is denied."
I will know more when I can read the VA's reason and basis, but for now I can't figure out how they can deny Housebound but approve Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia.
Even though I don't log in, I do read HADIT and learn from you all every day for the past 8 years.
Your response to my situation will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
P.S.: If it were not for the posts from Berta and Flip, I would still be on the streets (or worse).
