CCK Live: Top 3 VA Special Monthly Compensation Level K (SMC(k)) Rates
For some veterans, a 100% VA disability rating does not adequately capture the severity of their condition(s). In these cases, a veteran may receive Special Monthly Compensation, or SMC. SMC is awarded to veterans with service-connected conditions so debilitating they require a rating higher than 100%. There are different levels of Special Monthly Compensation depending on the nature of the disability, and the amount of compensation varies for each level. SMC(k) encompasses loss or loss of use of a body part or function. Tune in to learn more about VA SMC(k) and how to know if you qualify.

CCK Live: What to Expect at a Compensation and Pension (C&P) Exam For Depression

CCK Live: How to Get the Highest Rating for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
The highest possible rating for post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is 100%. A 100% rating means that a veteran’s PTSD symptoms are so severe that they are totally impaired and unable to function in daily life. VA assigns PTSD ratings based on the veteran's level of social and occupational impairment, as well as the frequency, duration, and severity of symptoms.
