Question
David Watson
I have a disability claim pending decision approval. I've received a unofficial notification from the DAV that the VA is looking to take the following action(s):
1. Evaluation of primary iron deficiency anemia, which is currently 0 percent disabling, is increased to 100 percent effective 9/13/17. The schedule for rating disability has changed for this condition. An evaluation of 30 percent assigned effective 12/9/18, the date of the law change.
2. Entitlement to special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria being met is granted from 9/13/17 to 1/1/19.
I'm currently at 80 percent:
60 percent for gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease
30 percent for migraine and tension headaches
20 percent for hypertension
I was wondering do I qualify for SMC-S (Homebound).
Edited by David WatsonI wasn't specific enough.

what feedback are you looking for? If you are being considered for housebound then you have to have a 100% single rating, so I sounds like they bumped something up. (re-reading now, I see that). Congr

Sounds like a finite grant of SMC S for housebound for a short period of time. Note the beginning and ending dates. "1. Evaluation of primary iron deficiency anemia, which is currently 0 percent
