Question

I've looked through all kinds of past postings on SMC, to include Asknod's information. However, I could not answer this one question:

Do two qualifying SMC-S bump a veteran up to SMC-L? [example- 100% P&T + 60% + 60%, separate body functions]

THANKS

Life is GOOD!!!! Could be better if VA did what it is paid to do.

100% - P&T - Heart [iCD] *

80% - Renal Dysfunction**

40% - Type 1 Diabetic [Not AO related]

10% - GERDS

0% - Gallbladder Removal [Currently under appeal]

0% - SCARS

0% - Hypertension [downgraded with 100% Heart]

SMC(K-1) - ED

SMC(S-1) - * & **

I don't think so. S has its own criteria. L and higher do.

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

THANKS J,

So I guess that after 'S', unless a Veteran is A&A, lost limbs or whatever, there's no reason to fight for higher ratings, even though one believes that VA screwed up.

Well, there's also SMC/K for a few extra bucks, but I wish that on no one :-)
