Question
scottinmt
Hello All,
It's been a few years since I last signed on and it seems most of my data has been purged from my profile. I received my 100% P&T rating in the spring of 2016 backdated to the summer of 2015. My conditions have seemed to worsen over time and I am now considering applying for SMC for being both housebound and relying on my wife to care for me due to mental and physical issues. I do not have a service connected mental health diagnosis but have seen VA Psychiatrists since 2011. It appears that being housebound is a SMC S rating but I am unsure of where what I'm calling "aid and attendance" falls. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Berta, I looked through my award letter and never does it state anything regarding SMC other than an SMC K award I received back dated to 2004. As for your question about mental health, no I neve

You posted: With 220 percent, you should likely qualify under Statuatory SMC S,or above. Key is DO YOU HAVE A SINGLE 100 percent. If you read the regulations, SMC requires a single 100 perce
