Everything You Need to Know About Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)

from H&P Disability Direct - Live Answers on the Road to VA Compensation · host Hill and Ponton

Veterans assigned a disability rating up to 100% receive monthly compensation for service-related disabilities. Yet, in some cases, this might be insufficient. The Department of Veterans Affairs offers Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) for these scenarios. Unlike regular disability benefits which cover reduced earning capacity, SMC addresses non-economic impacts like personal inconvenience and social challenges, offering a rate beyond the standard 100%.
