Are You Eligible for Special Monthly Compensation?

Special monthly compensation (SMC) is a special form of VA disability payment intended to help veterans, spouses, surviving spouses, or parents that have certain needs or disabilities.

Veterans who receive a VA disability rating are most often given a rating between 0% and 100%. This is known as a schedular rating, with conditions in the disability rating schedule assigned a specific percentage (ratings) that reflect the severity of the disability. Each 10% increment in the veteran’s overall disability rating (along the way from 0 to 100) corresponds to an increase in tax-free monthly compensation.

Many veterans awarded service connection with schedular (10%-100%) ratings assume that no further benefits are available to them. However, the VA acknowledges that some disabilities and/or financial needs deserve compensation greater than what a schedular rating can offer—even if you have a 100% rating. That’s where Special monthly compensation comes in.

Let’s take a closer look and answer some of the most-asked questions surrounding special monthly compensation!
