Hello,
It is nice to be here. I think I posted in the wrong area. Please forgive me. I’m having difficulty learning how to post something. I was approved for SMC L1 and put in a request for a half step due to a stand alone condition. This turned into a Higher Level Review. The VA stated that the rater used things that were not service related. I have 3 different cancers, diabetes and a stroke that are not rated at this time. I am a 100% permanent and total vet with many spine and neck issues that effect me an am also rated 100% for stand alone PTSD. Due to my many nerve a disc problems, I am bedridden with loss of use of my legs. My wife is physician that has to quit working to take care of me. She is my caregiver and also my doctor at home for she administers my medicine, take care of and treats bed sores, physical therapy, acupuncture, blood pressure checks, etc. on top of that she does the feeding, grooming, showering, and keeps me from harming myself because of my PTSD. The VA has found me incompetent as well. I just had a Aid & Attendance exam because they failed to ever do one. Everything seemed fine and I told the doctor that I am bedridden and only get out of bed into a wheelchair with the aid of my wife, to take a shower, attend any necessary medical appointments by the VA and very seldom, my wife will take me outside for a few minutes. Unbeknownst to me, the doctor fill out the form I later found out that he has]d me wheelchair bound and bedridden for 8 hours at night and 5 hours during the day. My question is, did the doctor mess the claim up for being bedridden and messing up the chances for R1? I didn’t know there was such thing until it hear that 2 L’s equal O and if one is for Aid & Attendance then it’s R1. I hope this is understandable to you all and I thank you for your time.

I don't know anything about what you are asking about. Asknod.org has a lot of information about this.
