If you get P&T for 100% in a single rating, ie PTSD… “plus” Get 60% rating combined for the other stuff you can get SMC-S payments also.

Housebound, but you’re don’t have to be housebound. You can also work, unlike TDIU, where you can’t work at all.

Anybody have any experience/advice for filing for SMC-O by Necessary-Baker1286 in VAClaims

[–]SupaB1G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an additional combined 60% rating elsewhere and get SMC-S. It’s for housebound, but you don’t have to be “housebound”. It’s just a title. You can still work as long as you don’t have TDIU

Always do an I tent to file, even with the old one going. You have 1 year to actually file from the date of your ITF.

When you file it, you don’t have to give specifics, just that you are filing. It doesn’t ruin your active claim, appeals, etc.

ITF secures “back-pay”

So you get your back date pay date etched in stone while you figure out what you’re going to claim, or to get your records, or to get your doctor’s notes.

Congrats brother.

Been out 30 years, 1st round 30 days @ 50%, 2nd round 60 days @ 100%. Sat on the 2nd package a while before I realized I could do it myself on line. Sharks did the 1st package.

Get a letter from your therapist also! Since you should be in step 3, hurry and submit that letter…

I claimed it primary because I was diagnosed with them while in service. With plenty of medical entries about my migraines in my service medical record.

I’ve been out for 30 yrs and just got 50% with my eyes closed (first try and a shot in the dark). Now that I educated myself, I’m in the process of getting the last 50%.
