Hello Everyone,


I am Diagnosed with 100% PTSD and Skitzo Effective disorder. I am many other disabilities that require shots including hormonal replacement and a army of medications.

I have a full time caregiver and it is documented that she bathes me, I cannot cook my own food, I need help feeding my self, shaving brushing teeth. Also she administers hormone shots to me and gives me many medications every day. She also talks to 2 of my doctors at least once a month over the phone on how to take for me and following there prescribed regimens. On the VA Form 21-2680. My VA Doctor checked that I require Nursing Home Care but prefer to stay at home and have a full time caregiver. I have documentation of enougher va doctor recommending me to be in a mental hospital and wanted to have someone call me once a week and I refused but its documented.. I follow all the requirements for smc R2 except




(i) The veteran is entitled to the compensation authorized under 38 U.S.C. 1114(o), or the maximum rate of compensation authorized under 38 U.S.C. 1114(p).



Its expensive paying for a full time caregiver and its bringing me into debt. I have use of arms and legs and I am not blind... So does this automatically cut me off from R2? Its labeled that I need a higher level of care.


Would I rate smc r2.


Thank you
