HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted July 28, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 28, 2015 Peaches Welcome to Hadit. If your PTSD involves panic attacks and you have agoraphobia diagnosed you can skip the calculations as you get part B of the rule and should have S Award for housebound. Its about 400 a month now but the BA will probably only pay from the time you ask for it. Good Luck PS if you have the symptoms tell your Doctor.

MoeFerland Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Not really a reply just wondering who can explain to me how the retro pay works. I was 40% now at 50%. Will the retro be the new amount times months since applied or will it be new amount minus old amount times the months since applied? Thank You all for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeelarry Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Peaches911, please correct if I'm wrong. Sorry, I cannot answer your question, as I'm looking for the same info. OP stated 'currently at 100% & SMC (S)'. Not sure, but I think Peaches911 is asking- if with the current ratings plus an additional % for Asthma, what is needed for an increase in $$$$$$? That's an answer I've been looking for also. If a Veteran is rated 100% P&T, plus has other disabilities that add up to 60% [sMC (s)], plus additional 60% worth of ratings, does the Veteran get bumped up to SMC (l)? Of course, the two Additional 60% are using VA Math & no duplication of same body parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitemStraight Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 MoeFerland - Looks like you got it right. An increase in your percentage (40 to 50) should be retro to the effective date of the award increase (date of claim to request increase). The difference between the amounts for the percentages on the compensation scale would be multiplied by the number of months going back. Currently, the difference between 40% and 50% is $248.77 for a veteran alone. (ex. $248.77 x 12 months = $2,985.24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
