Here is how it works.

You file on say, July 4th. Your first VA payment will be theoretically "paid" August 1st. The VA always pays you on the first of the month, to compensate you for the previous month of being disabled. They aren't going to givenyou money,per se next month as if you "Might" miraculously he "Cured". They will give you your Retro because you WERE found to be disabled all of those LITERAL years they slowly hacked at us in the trenches of VA beauracricy and unaccountability. So what if there's a new Sec of VA, Hydras only grow more talking heads. The problem with the system is they make us sit up, shake paws, and play dead to get what we are actually Legally entitled to. This mentallity amongst all of us Troops who havent stoped fighting yet needs to be changed. Everybone of our Wins makes it easier for another.

What is special monthly compensation? Is it compensation added on top of what you get monthly according to your rating?

It's additional compensation and there are a handful of different ones, one is for housebound, like either physically bedridden, or anxiety is so strong you can't go outside.  There are ones for specialty vehicles, for wheelchair accessability and so on.  I think you can top out at 8K or more a month.

Wow that's crazy.  You must be extremely disabled to make that much!

It's not that crazy. For every vet who gets and deserves that to help them cope with expenses, 999 vet's will not get anything (est.) Anyway, you have great expenses and knowledge required to get anything more than chump change in the VA system. And then there is the sunk cost of having no life too. They won't give you a cup of coffee for that one. At best, Vet's are receiving partial payments in return for their lives from a young age. Go look at those people receiving $8K/mo and tell me if you would switch places with them: yes, they are extremely disabled.

You're right bro. I would never trade mobility, loss of limbs, or overall health for 8k.  I'd rather earn my money for that matter.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
