Stilt Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) I initially submitted a claim for SMC-K, Loss of creative organ, Erectile Dysfunction due to diabetes. Afterwards, I had my prostate removed due to prostate cancer. Based on what I have read, the prostate gland is a creative organ. Should a second claim be submitted? I am curious about it because the prostate gland and the penis are on the same reproductive track. Edited September 22, 2011 by Stilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 22, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 22, 2011 You can't get two K awards. If you get your "junk" blown away you might be able to get some other type of award including K. You might be able to get residuals for the prostate cancer. That would be like getting two awards for HB due to two separate reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 You can't get two K awards To be technically precise, this is incorrect. As you noted, a veteran cannot receive two awards of SMC-k for Loss of Use of a Creative Organ. However, a veteran may receive SMC-k for other reasons. It's all right here in 38 CFR 3.350(a)(1) through (6) http://www.benefits....ART3/S3_350.DOC . You can't get two K awards. If you get your "junk" blown away you might be able to get some other type of award including K. You might be able to get residuals for the prostate cancer. That would be like getting two awards for HB due to two separate reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 22, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 22, 2011 But you can't get 2 stacked "K" awards for loss of use. I know you can get it for reasons other than losing the creative organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted September 24, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 24, 2011 Papa - I think that's part of your problem. I can't draw worth a damn but I try, even if it only amounts to what most would consider scribbling. ;-) pr I haven't been creative in years .
