Moderator broncovet Posted June 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 17, 2015 Congrats. According to what you posted, yes, you indeed get SMC S, because you have 100 plus 60. Did you get your total of 100 plus 60 in 2008? If you got it earlier, you may be entitled to an Earlier effective date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wampanoag4life Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I just got notification in ebennys that my claim for smc has been decided on, it reads "development sent" "decision sent" and in my additional benefits it's shows "special monthly compensation" but not sure if I was awarded or denied, the letter hasn't arrived yet but my doctor wrote a lengthy one page letter in support of this claim and they received the letter on June 8th and made a decision yesterday June 18th, very anxious to see what the decision is. I'm rated at 100%, any thoughts on how to confirm if this is an award or denial? As for the 1800 827 1000 number, they won't tell you what the decision is.

TALON II FE Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Did you click on the additional benefits, SMC and then click it again to expand it? I thought it may show there like the ratings do once the decision is decided, but that was just an assumption. I guess it would depend on data entry on their side. Good Luck!
