degenerative arthritis Not Rated Permanent, can I still qualify for SMC?
Rate this question
Question
TALON II FE
...Or is this another way they would benefit from holding off on making me permanent, besides what my kids aren't getting in College? It seems like I should qualify but, since I reached 100% "naturally", I don't have a TDIU ruling either. Here are my ratings, do you think they are shortchanging me? I almost never leave my house, either, btw. Thanks, SMC is very confusing to me.
