For some veterans, a 100% VA disability rating does not adequately capture the severity of their condition(s). In these cases, a veteran may receive Special Monthly Compensation, or SMC. SMC is awarded to veterans with service-connected conditions so debilitating they require a rating higher than 100%. There are different levels of Special Monthly Compensation depending on the nature of the disability, and the amount of compensation varies for each level.
