CCK law has a post which states:
Special Monthly Compensation under Level S is given if...;.....
Can anyone here explain this discrepency? I have emailed Alex, so maybe he will respond.
My VARO decision is more consistent with 3.350:
While not specifically claimed or appealed by the veteran, de novo review of the
evidence in connection with his Notice of Disagreement shows entitlement to special
monthly pension based on Housebound.
Entitlement to special monthly pension based on Housebound is granted where the
veteran has a single disability evaluated at 100 percent and has other disabilities that can
be independently evaluated at a separate 60 percent evaluation; or when the evidence
shows the veteran is Housebound "in-fact."
The veteran meets the criteria for special monthly pension based on Housebound as of
DD-mm-yy, the date his VA treatment reports show he began use of a CPAP
machine for treatment of his nonservice connected sleep apnea (warranting a 50 percent
evaluation for pension purposes) as the veteran has a single disability evaluated at 100
percent disabling as of his date (i.e., his service connected depression) and his other
service connected and nonservice connected disabilities (including his nonservice
connected sleep apnea) combine to an independent separate evaluation of 60 percent.
Therefore, entitlement to special monthly pension based on Housebound is granted,
effective September dd-mm-yy.
Please Note: While service connected disabilities and nonservice connected disabilities
may be used in determining entitlement to special monthly pension, only service
connected disabilities may be uses in determining entitlement to special monthly

I finally past the 20 plus year mark on my TDIU P&T rating and therefore VA cannot reduce or terminate my rating now unless they can prove I committed fraud on obtaining this rating. I suspect so

Buck I never knew about the three 0% will = 10%, that is good to know. I had an extra 10% that I never knew I had...haha

Buck I too just saw your comment regarding 3 0% ratings can get you an ADDITIONAL 10% rating. I knew about 2 0% getting a 10% if it effects employability, but 3! That is pretty significant. Do you re
