@SecVetAffairs @RapidResponseVA @HouseVetAffairs @VetAffairsOIG SMC denial- VA OIG you made a promise to us Veterans ⚠️ The VA is still using a broken system to underpay catastrophically disabled heroes. A May 2025 VA OIG Report (24-01083-112) confirmed the automated SMC calculator is FLAWED, causing massive underpayments for those entitled to SMC-L through R2. The "Glitch" in Action: 1Circular Denials: VA "re-evaluates" your health instead of doing the OIG-mandated manual audit of their broken math. 2The Incompetency Trap: I filed that for my my 21 year-old autistic son so I could get him special restorative training. I was told by the fiduciary hub in South Carolina. I would had to be found incompetent before my son could get a fiduciary) I did not want this, and I told the fiduciary hub to stop and the claim rep that called me as well, but they added it to my existing claim The VA - Yesterday at the VA I had a brain MRI I was diagnosed with MTS, which is a brain disorder. I uploaded the results from that MRI that same Day Feb-2 yesterday. next day to my supplemental claim this afternoon, received an email that my decision letter is ready was I was not shocked or surprised that everything was denied or is continued I don’t think they’ve looked at anything that I’ve submitted, just ran the calculators the same one that’s broken. 3Siloed Claims: Supplemental claims and HLRs aren't "talking," causing new evidence not to be communicate communicated with each other HLR R2 was denied rightfully, she told that I would definitely qualify for an R 1. VA OIG report dated May 2025 were they clarified that it wasn’t just the legacy system that the SMC was not calculating correctly. It was also the new system. MANUAL AUDIT was promised by the VA and the OIG The individual who rated could not have done manual will review PCOS is entitled to a SMC K. I never received it even back to my first claim 1994. Claim denial note: 19. Evaluation of entitlement to special monthly compensation Entitlement to special monthly compensation was reviewed. All currently service connected disabilities were evaluated, and the previously granted determinations are confirmed as accurate. Therefore, entitlement to special monthly compensation, is continued. (38 CFR 3.350) I received 2 SMC K for my breast cancer I qualify for a lease an SMC L, after reading the VA OIG report I put in a suppleme VA “everything is fine" Me but your SMC math doesn't add up, cite the OIG Report 24-01083-112 do I call the OIG Hotline. The last time I was told they don’t work with dependence. They’re only there for veterans. #Veterans #VATopics #SMC #GulfWarVets #OIGRep you should read that claim you won’t believe it 20 inch scar across my stomach from my breast cancer reconstruction. It’s not compensated. There’s so many other things, but I really thought the VA OIG report and the promise to make it right I think it’s great but if it doesn’t trickle down, what happened to me is gonna keep happening I’ve reached out to you guys multiple times trying to get something fast track my appeal(noted on this current claim the notes- PCOS does not have its own code, that’s not correct that’s supposed to be rated on the Gyn that might be the reason I’m waiting 30 years to have it corrected Why is that a disabled combats veteran, I was able to find these updated laws and regulations? TA VA congressional liaison, say there was nothing they could do for me. I drove two hours with all the paperwork that she refused to look at it Please don’t pass me over to rapid response they’re write me a message and tell me to reach out to them and I never hear back I’m really hoping that the VA OIG keep their promise.
