i am blessed to get this surprise monthly compensation on top of 100% rating and I didn't need a lawyer. I got everything the first attempt on my claims... that doesn't happen often I hear so i do NOT take it for granted. Beyond grateful

$4054.12 / mo for single veteran, no kids/spouse. VA definitely takes care of their veterans. USA all the way.

[sanfordt.]

Hill and Ponton are hands down the best! They got my wife and myself %100.

Look im not saying that these guys are "gods" or that they are always right. But I will say that - so far - I've gotten 100% p&t, smc-l and smc-k. So... So far so good. And this is only through these videos.

[donmilland]

They left out a couple of biggies such as SMC based on statutory and housebound status.

[TacticalPAPA]

So I’ve been 100% C&P for a few years, they owed me back pay for SMCK since 2015, we applied for aid and attendance, so my wife’s stayed home to take care of me since 2015 she was 19 at the time and I just got retired. We have the paperwork and all that and they denied us and approved homebound. They always go for low hanging fruit, always appeal! My VSO said that was crazy and appealed it for me, I hope we get the extra $. Aid and attendance can range from 400$ more than housebound to a few thousand from what I understand but there’s no number anywhere online.

The real battle and enemy is the VA! Try getting a claim in your favor...you'll get after 7 or 8 years of troubles and BS from the VA.

[Ronlmiola]

11:00 am. How to u convert smc s housebound criteria to aid and attendance smc L . There is difference in money. I have caregiver wife that was approved to take care of me she takes care of me on everything except money. VA approved me smc without applying but I believe aid and attendance is more appropriate. What is your take?

[vickicook]

What does the spouse get after husband passes at a 100 percent. Bad heart from ancient orange, kidney failure, pneumothy..

[julesamadou]

Can you work with 100%PTSD P&T even if you were deemed incompetent by the VA?

[GotChrist]

Im 100% P and T. Im afraid to file smc because im nervous ill have to go all the back through my va disability again.

[markfennell]

Wow up to $8500 a month. I never knew that

[i_n_sist]

Thank you again guys. I wasn't aware of this information and definitely not the process it entails to receive an SMC. I will share with other veterans 😉

[maryjeancola]

Yes I Filed for Aid and attendance for my 100% disabled brother, he has chronic schizophrenia and He was turned down..

[johngaracinii]

Hello,


What do you mean by multiple rating for SMC-L?


For Instance: I have severe migraines, that do not allow me to drive. I know I qualify for SMC-L for that one.

I have peripheral neuropathy on both of my hands and it's very hard for me to keep grasp of things like cups and plates and often times drop my food because I loose all feeling in my arms. So I know I qualify for SMC-L for that one.

I also have Radiculopathy of both legs and they cause severe numbness on both legs making it difficult to walk. So I know that also allows me to qualify for SMC-L.


So, what do you mean when you say "you can have multiple ratings for SMC-L? I was told by my VSO that you can only have SMC-L for one issue or body part. That there is no stacking.


Please advise.

[johnbergin]

I need help with SMC and possibly A&A, who can help with that

[keiththomason]

I really appreciate your attempts to disseminate critical information, but the sound quality of your videos is so poor that I can’t watch them.

[usedtobered]

Is a veteran drawing 80% but being paid at 100% due to unemployability considered 100% disabled?

[JuliusCrawley]

I have caregiver and aid attendance at 100% P&T with SMCK

[takaogibson]

I'm at 90% with SMC (k). I have cases with CUE. 3 of them. I'm getting worked on for 100% TDIU. Will my SMC increase if my attorney wins my case?
