Question
Philip Rogers
Helped a friend get rated for PTSD about 3 yrs ago. They awarded him 100% schedular for PTSD and conceded stressor w/o verification because he's a combat vet w/purple heart, for gunshot wounds. He now has ratings of 100%, 30%, 10%,10%,10% and 10%. When considering SMC for the 100+60 rule, do they use VA math on the additional percentages over 100%??? Or will his additionals count as 70%, thereby making him eligible for SMC? And if so, shouldn't the VA have rated him for the SMC, when they awarded him the 100%? Additionally, when he was awarded 100%, schedular, for PTSD, they failed to consider A&A and housebound, so we'll be pursuing that issue. I was amazed by his case. He had no diagnosis, treatment or meds for PTSD but based on the C&P was rated 100% in less then 9 months. (Correction, while reviewing his c-file, I found a PTSD diagnosis in a 1983 discharge summary) Prior to this he had been receiving 50% since his discharge from the Army in 1969. Thanks in dvance.
