What the heck just as I thought I was getting somewhere on Thursday it said prep for notice and that it would be completed 9/25. I just checked to see if maybe they happen to updat my rating or my letter and saw that it now went back to prep for descion!!! Ugh what the heck is going on does this happen all the time??

Just like everyone else has said, don't worry too much about it. I got word last Thursday (23rd) that I was at Prep for decision. Just found out today that it is pending decision approval. Keep your head up and think that you are almost there.

So update they found everything service connected but at a 0% rating so I'm still 90% but yet there's a check going in for a huge amount and I downloaded my award letter and it still says 90% but a different monthly check amount that's more then what I was getting.  The only smc is smc k1

SM S is for 100% or TDIU  plus additional 60 % or more for an independent additional SC disability or for Housebound status.

But I dont get this.... if they gave you Zero for additional claims...why didn't they consider the SMC prior to this recent award?

What was the EED for the SMC award?
