ptsd E/d What % If Any

[mojo13]

I put and in for ED on a fully developed claim form on 1/2/2013 secondary to ptsd. Was call on Saturday to make an appointment for my C/P . My appointment was made for Monday the 4th of March which I attended. The doctor looked at my Meds and saw I was taking anti depresion pills for 3 years in high dose and ask me many questions.. The exam went well 30 min or so. Doctor came right and said the ED was from medication. Here my question how do they rate this smc? or % ??? Doctor said its all up to rater, he just writes up the cause. Thanks

assisted a veteran last week, his ED was rated at 0%, however he received a K award at $89.00 a month

SMC K was $95 in 2012. If a veteran was awarded $89, the awarding VARO made a mistake, and likely used an obsolete table.
