ptsd Special Compensation Pay for combat related injuries

[jaquar]

Good afternoon all,

I'm new to the forum.  I am 100% service connected combat veteran who received 30% for PTSD.  Under the USC 1115 it states that I can receive $376 for my 30% rating for special compensation pay.  Do I apply for this or is this paid under CRSC?  Thank you in advance.

To get the children as dependents they need to be under age 18 or still at home but going to school up to age 28 I believe.

I have the SMC S-1 H.B. and spouse as dependent but my children are all grown and on there own  so no children dependents for me,  just me and my spouse  which is an extra 347.15 above the 100%

Good morning all,

Thank you so much for helping me out.  I hope this is a little clearer to what I am trying to establish.

I am exactly referring to 38 USC 1114 - Rates of Wartime Disability Compensation.  I am a combat disabled veteran rated at 30% according to the above reference,  c) if and while the disability is rated 30 percent the monthly compensation shall be $376;

then from  38 USC 1115  Additional Compensation for Dependents B) has a spouse and one or more children, $259 plus $75 for each child in excess of one;

It states monthly compensation but I have not been getting any funds from this.  Do I have to apply for special monthly compensation pay through the VA? OR Do I have to apply for Combat Related Special Compensation because it is combat through my service? Neither reference tells where to apply for benefits. Its not clear to me.

Currently, I am receiving 100% P&T, 60, 50, 30, 30, 20,20,20,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10.  I do not receive any special monthly compensation pay.  I believe that I am entitled to SMC based off of the information in the USC 1114 but don't know how to go about asking for it.  I have spoke to several VA reps and the just send me a request 21-526EZ in mail.  Thank you for all the support and help.
