FIRST...."THANK YOU" all for your service to this grateful nation! I am the wife of a Vietnam Vet, Navy.
I "FINALLY" got him to apply for benefits, (Intent to file 8-26-16), and he is to see the VA doctor tomorrow, Chicago. (Ischemic Heart Disease). (METs 1-3) I have YEARS of private doctors records of when he had his heart attack 2004. He had to stop working in 2007. He had to wait one year, (NO INCOME) for one year until he could take early retirement.
While I am doing all the research I can I am unsure as to 'how' or 'if' he/(me) is to ask for Special Monthly Compensation if, in fact, they deem his disability worthy.
Please help me....help him!!
Thank you all.

While I agree with Berta that no Vet SHOULD have to apply for SMC, I suggest you do so anyway, if you are eligible and have not been so awarded. Its the same old story in VA, that VA "forgets" t
