Does IU automatically qualify you for SMC?

[allansc2005]

Brother was just awarded IU, and has other conditions not associated with the IU that add up to 70%, using hadit.com scale.

 

Will the P&T IU itself meet the requirement for 100% needed to qualify for SMC?

What I'm asking is does the 60%+ have to be ONE condition, or can it be combined 60%+ COMBINED?

I was IU PT, just received another rating for 60% rating and was denied housebound/aid and attendance......

Seminoles, I may be wrong, but I think A/A is only for those receiving a pension.

either way I was denied smc s when I had an additional rating of 60% added, so who the heck knows, they make up their own rules it seems honestly.  You can receive smc L which  and not be receiving a pension.

Seminoles, can that additional rating be a combined 60% to be eligible for SMC, or does it have to be a single rating?

That I do not know, I received one additional rating of 60% and another of 10% on top of what I had with my IU PT and they denied my smc s.  I still have 2 things deferred but my packet definitely said smc s not eligible/didn't meet criteria.
