MonicaMc Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I just received a 100% Permanent & Total disability rating. Should I continue with 2 claims that are still under review & waiting for a C&P exam? Neither claim is part of the 100% rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Moderator broncovet Posted February 23, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2023 I agree with brokensoldier. In addition to a possible SMC, DIC (for your dependents) is dependent on "the cause of death". It needs to be service connected "cause of death" to get DIC for the first 10 years. After 10 years, the dependents should get DIC regardless of the cause of death. So, additional SC disabilites is a good thing for both SMC and DIC.
