It is saying you qualify for (SMC pension payment). Not really hip on SMC, someone will chime in.

Special Monthly Compensation

[Vync]

Looks like you may have been granted housebound status (if I am reading that correctly). Your profile shows you at 90%, but what you posted indicates 100%. They should have includes a few pages along with the decision that goes into any rating percentage and compensation changes. You can call 1-800-827-1000 and they should be able to tell you the specifics. You can also look on ebenefits or va.gov and check your disabilities.

Quote

(i) Total plus 60 percent, or housebound; 38 U.S.C. 1114(s). The special monthly compensation provided by 38 U.S.C. 1114(s) is payable where the veteran has a single service-connected disability rated as 100 percent and,

(1) Has additional service-connected disability or disabilities independently ratable at 60 percent, separate and distinct from the 100 percent service-connected disability and involving different anatomical segments or bodily systems, or

(2) Is permanently housebound by reason of service-connected disability or disabilities. This requirement is met when the veteran is substantially confined as a direct result of service-connected disabilities to his or her dwelling and the immediate premises or, if institutionalized, to the ward or clinical areas, and it is reasonably certain that the disability or disabilities and resultant confinement will continue throughout his or her lifetime.

I would think its SMC S House Bound  if you got a 100%rating and then another separate rating  60% OR HIGHER not from the 100%  then you quailfy for the SMC S

Check your E  benefits EOB

 

i KNOW i WENT FROM A 90%COMBINED RATING   AND GIVEN  TDIU P&T  AND GOT ANOTHER SEPARATE CLAIM 70%  THEY GAVE ME THE SMC S H.B. MADE THE IU MOOT.

i NOW HAVE A 100% DEGREE IN RATING  AS IN SCHEDULER RATING.

I am going to head down this morning to see why i am not getting it when it states I should be and why it doesnt show on disability listing as 100%
