Greetings to all and hope all are doing well as can be currently 90% (100% TDIU) from PTSD at 70% alone. Other disabilities are 30%, 20%, 10%, 10% and two 0%’s. Just awarded rhinitis today which gave me the other 10%, so this didn’t change my overall percentage. Also I have an appeal that was granted this year from 2016 and currently I’m at the end of that just waiting to have a rating and effective date if that matters, which should be any day now.
Do I qualify for smc s now? I know once my appeal gets rated I will be but was curious to see if it applies to this new claim that was granted. Thanks for your time and any insights are appreciated.

My motto is to appeal all decisions, unless you are satisfied and agree w/the results. It took me 10yrs to win 100% for a ptsd claim but I won, retro to my original claim date. Because I was awarded

We dont know from what you posted. When it comes to tdiu and SMC S, it often turns on "which" disabilities(s) the VA said caused your unemployability. We dont know how many of those percentages you
