Thump me if I'm being stupid, 'cuz I probably am, but when I look at the SMC table, say, S, for with spouse, without children, I see this number: $3,255.

My question: is the the total compensation, or is that in addition to the disability compensation being paid for 100%

Told you it was stupid... but I can't see straight anymore.

All SMC (with the exception of SMC-k) is the 'total compensation' rather than in addition to.

are you positive Yes, I am positive

because i have read it was addition in most categories. And this reading is from a reputable source?

Here is my source, the law for Special Monthly Compensation at 38 USC 1114 http://us-code.vlex....sation-19233414 . The basic verbiage (and dollar amounts) were penned prior to 2002, and do not reflect subsequent COLAs.

thanks, You're welcome.
