deedub75 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It's possible you could get retro pay. It depends on if the new rating moves the effective dates of all of your combined ratings back. I'm 100% P&T as well and the effect date for this is in 2015. I have claims from 2010 that were finally granted in 2020 but they gave me the wrong effective date for them. I am appealing the effective dates so they go back to 2010. If they correct the effective date, all of my combined ratings since 2010 will increase and the effective date of my 100% P&T will move back before 2015. This would result in some significant retro for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitman87 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 How about any more compensation since already 100% smc-s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedub75 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 You can't get higher than 100% but you could get addition special monthly compensation (SMC) on top of you rating. I see you're already getting SMC-s but say for instance you have a service connected issue that causes erectile disfunction you could get SMC-k for loss of use of a creative organ and that would pay a little over $100 more per month.

Actually the more or worse off a veteran is with his service connected conditions he can qualify up the SMC Latter So -to-speak. If you have other conditions that render you helpless and bedridden or you lose both legs and arms and you need assistance from another person you can qualify for other SMC depending on how bad the conditions are, SMC ALSO AS Loss of use of a body organ which would also qualify for higher SMC Payments . A TBI vets can qualify for more SMC's if the TBI has other Residuals cause from his TBI that render him helpless. so basically the more bad health conditions caused by his military service including secondary Conditions then he can clime up the SMC Latter you would need a quailfied Dr to state so. I am fairly sure they are veterans receiving'' higher SMC's ''THAN THEY NORMALLY WOULD DESERVE but its all up to the Dr's to help them get there.(jmo) Edited August 7, 2020 by Buck52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
