Question
whoami?
I have been wrestling with the idea of applying for SMC (S) because I am 100% P&T PTSD, SSDI, and I don't work. I sent an IRIS message like 1 a.m. this morning.
I don't have a copy of the message I sent but based off of my research I told them that they overlooked SMC (S) back to my new 100% rating in 2014 based off the fact that I can't work because of my disability. This is the response I received hours later. I don't think they even understand what I ask for....What should I do....
Page 7 of my award packet only talks about if I disagree with their decision but they never mentioned SMC (S).
Recently you requested assistance from VA. Below is our response.
If you wish to reopen this issue, you may do so within the next 14 days.
Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.
This is in response to your inquiry to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) dated February 1, 2017.
VA is grateful to all Veterans for the service and individual sacrifice they made to our nation.
Unfortunately, our decision regarding your special monthly compensation is now file, as your time to appeal our decision expired on January 2, 2016, as stated within our January 2, 2015, Notification letter, page 7.
The National Resource Directory (NRD), http://www.nrd.gov/misc/about_us, is a resource website that connects wounded warriors, Service Members, Veterans, their families, and caregivers to programs and services that support them.
Thank you for contacting us. If you have questions or need additional help with the information in our reply, please respond to this message or see our other contact information below.
Sincerely yours,
C. Boyd
National IRIS Response Center Manager

I agree with whoami. VA is required to adjuticate entitlement to SMC S housebound, whenever the VEteran reaches a single 100 percent disability. I have the same thing, and Im in appeals now.
