VA disability compensation does not always follow a simple percentage system. In this video, we break down how Special Monthly Compensation is structured and why understanding its framework can make a meaningful difference in how benefits are awarded.
Vision loss can qualify veterans for Special Monthly Compensation (SMC), but many people are unaware of how VA evaluates severe visual impairment and blindness for these benefits.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can lead to some of the most severe and complex disabilities VA evaluates, and in certain cases, they may qualify a veteran for one of the highest levels of Special Monthly Compensation.
Some claims are strengthened by proof that veterans may already have but never think to submit. Understanding what can quietly support where and how you served may make a meaningful difference in how VA views your claim. #veteransbenefits #veterans #vaclaim
With SMC-L, the need for help with daily activities is the foundation of the benefit. But with SMC-R1, the veteran is already compensated for extremely severe disabilities, and Aid and Attendance is added as an extra layer to recognize their need for ongoing personal care.
CCK Law Partner Zachary Stolz joined CNBC from Washington, DC to discuss how the firm advances veterans disability law at the federal level. For over 20 years, CCK has shaped precedent that clarifies the VA system and strengthens access to earned benefits. #Veteran #CNBC #VAClaims #VeteransBenefits

I just spoke to Don Lemon, in one of our recent weekly Substack Lives, about the Trump Admin targeting him. He was fearless and said he stood by his reporting and the First Amendment. We all have to speak out, especially journalists. This is unacceptable and unconstitutional.
Trump doesn’t give a fuck about fallen troops or Memorial Day. This is so lazy and disrespectful

Day 462 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope

Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to see Pac-Man collide with Blinky onscreen during the first intermission of the original game. If you were to play a modified version of Pac-Man that speeds Pac up, though, you can see Pac-Man moves past Blinky and wraps around the screen when he's big.

Jim Ratcliffe's claim that migrants have colonised Britain is classic billionaire projection. Billionaires' wealth depends on extracting value from workers' labour. We're all in this pyramid of the capitalist system, billionaires at the top, workers and migrants at the bottom.
