Misinformation here. Regular SMC (L) is aka Aid and Attendance. SMC (R) requires more stringent requirements to be eligible. "To receive compensation under SMC R1 or R2/T (Aid and Attendance), you must first qualify under level O or levels N ½ and K together. The veteran must provide medical evidence demonstrating a significant loss of bodily functions, such as loss of hearing, loss of vision, amputations, or complete paralysis."

Those are some of the General Elevated SMC requirements! WAY more is needed to obtain SMC-R ; SMC-R2; and SMC-T

[@stevenb.5680]

@@rebeccasanford8607 I know, but to list everything required would be one longgggg list to post here. I am SMC (L) myself, and can't touch SMC (R).
