Question:

I'm receiving SMC K for double mastectomy. I also had 6 weeks of radiation. Does the SMC K cover the mastectomy and radiation or should it be twice what I am receiving?

Jim's Reply:

SMK K is awarded in addition to your basic disability compensation. SMC-K is awarded for (among many other categories) the loss of 25% or more of breast tissue in one or both breasts combined, or after radiation treatment to the breast tissues. From the information you've provided,  it sounds as if you're correctly rated.
