Benefits Question

[epierce1389]

Hello,

 

I recently checked on ebenefits under Benefits and check the SMC box and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what this means:

SMC(S-1)

Entitled to special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. 1114, subsection (s) and 38 CFR 3.350(i) on account of medical conditions rated 100 percent and additional service-connected disabilities of limitation of medical conditions independently ratable at 60 percent or more from 05/26/2015 to 10/01/2015.

Rating Date : 11/09/2016

 

 

(Medical conditions is what i put to conceal them).

 

Does this mean it is still active since the rating date is 11/09/2016.  I am still waiting for the official paperwork even tho they closed the case on 11/17/2016(still haven't received any paperwork).

Ebenefits is notoriously unreliable, but, based on what you posted, it looks like get SMC S

(Housebound), which is another 347 per month, in a decision made in early November.  

Did your pay increase for December?  It would confirm it if your pay went up 347 per month.

I did not get a pay increase for December.  I still am waiting to receive the packet explaining everything.   From reading other posts it may be ebenefits rushed to change that they sent out a decision letter in middle of November, but maybe since thanksgiving happened it slowed the process down.
