Hi General, Sometimes you don't get what you think you deserve . I'm 100% PT for a head injury while in service. I was a Pathfinder in the 82nd and on an A-Team in 7th Group. I had a head injury while attending USMAPS in August 1978.I was comatose for several weeks or months ,I've had a poor quality of life since then. I've applied for SMC Aid & Attendance but was denied.

Only other income I have besides my100 % service connection is social security. Would that be subtracted from my MAPR?
