Alex Graham, an accredited non-attorney practitioner for veteran disability, brings his expertise on VA benefits and Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) to help veterans understand their entitlements. Drawing from his Vietnam experience and years of advocacy, Alex illuminates the complex pathways to maximum benefits that many veterans and even VA employees don't fully understand.
• Recent "Barry versus McDonough" decision opens new pathways for veterans to receive higher SMC rates
• Veterans can file CUE claims dating back to 1971 for improper SMC calculations
• Multiple disabilities can now be combined to reach higher SMC levels through "Barry Bumps"
• Aid and Attendance benefits face increased scrutiny and procedural hurdles from the VA
• Combat presumptions often overlooked in TBI and PTSD claims despite clear service records
• Veterans need representation who understand the nuances of SMC calculations and medical evidence
• Even 10% disability ratings can have significant downstream effects on overall compensation
• The VA's failure to properly develop Aid and Attendance claims creates harmful delays for elderly veterans
