Frequently asked questions
What is SMC-K?
Special Monthly Compensation (K) is a flat monthly add-on for the anatomical loss or loss of use of a specific body part or sense. It stacks on top of your regular VA compensation, and you can receive up to three K awards.
Is SMC-K in addition to my disability pay?
Yes. SMC-K is paid on top of your normal monthly compensation, not instead of it.
