I have a new question?

I have an appeal in for a increase in my SMC rate in the mean time they gave me a increase for my depression to 70% I am 100% P&T off post traumatic brain and seizure disorder I also because of this have balance problems and because of several falls have been issued a power chair ramp and lift.

I now have A&A on my last increase the said they made a gross mistake in the SMC award which went from L to Between L&M. I am bed and house bound my kids hired a nurse to come in three days a week my daughter does everything for me. Here are my other ratings 70% depression 40% paralysis of sciatic nerve 40% DDD DJD lower back 40% nerve loss to my legs 20% broken pelvis 20% hearing loss 20% loss of upper right radicular group which the state rated 70% the VA rated this without a C&P exam 20& upper DDD DJD to the neck 20% limited thigh flexion 20% tendon inflammation 10% nerve damage to RT foot 10% nasal deviation my question is should I wait for my appeal to go through which my VA rep said could take five years or should I put a new claim in on the 100 plus 70 % stat is.

If you are talking about "S" housebound I think the fact you have A&A makes that moot. I don't think you can have S and A&A at the same time, but I could be wrong. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Ok I called VA in Roanoke the man on the phone said I was at the highest level A&A now that I read more into this I am level L1/2 which is 3674.00 so I am not being paid A&A right.
