Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) is an additional VA benefit paid on top of standard disability compensation for veterans with especially severe service-connected conditions — such as loss of a limb, loss of use of a limb, blindness, or the need for aid and attendance. A free review can help determine if you're being paid what you're owed.

SMC is paid in addition to standard VA disability compensation, and is often under-claimed because it requires specific criteria beyond a standard disability rating — many eligible veterans are unaware they qualify.
A free review looks at your service-connected conditions and current VA rating to determine whether you may be eligible for SMC, or whether a prior denial or rating decision should be appealed.
Whether your VA rating reflects the true severity of your condition.
Whether you qualify for additional compensation beyond your base rating.
Next steps if a prior claim or rating was denied or set too low.
Not always — sometimes it's a matter of requesting the correct compensation level based on conditions you're already rated for. A review can clarify your specific situation.
A prior denial doesn't necessarily end your options. A network representative can review what happened and advise on appeal.
