Great question. If you apply forA&A, the VA will usually schedule this exam irrespective of the doctor’s letter you provide. The VA likes to use its own examiners. 99% of the time it will not trigger a C&P exam for a specific condition; rather, the VA will usually only schedule an aid and attendance examination. With this in mind, usually your evaluations are safe from a potential reduction proposal because of a bad exam report. Obviously, there’s a chance of something unfavorable happening anytime a veteran asks the VA to take action in their case. This is unfortunate. However, there’s little to be concerned with in that regard when applying for A&A. We hope this helps. Good luck!
Can you qualify for more than one A&A condition? If so, how would it affect your current SMC award? I'm 100% Scheduler, SMC L-1 with now two seperate conditions rated at 60%.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, you can qualify for more than one A&A condition, though each condition will have it's own eligibility criteria. The combined effect of multiple A&A conditions may increase your overall need for assistance. If you qualify for additional A&A conditions, your SMC award may remain the same. The amount of SMC is typically determined by the severity of your combined disabilities, and adding more A&A conditions might not significantly change the overall severity of your disabilities for SMC purposes. With that said, we recommend you speak with a claims representative to help determine the potential impact on your SMC award.

If you are 100% P&T will applying for aid and attendance trigger new C&P exams or is the doctor's letter enough?

Is it important that the letter theVA sends you says VA HAS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE VETERAN IS CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF MONEY .
Just because you can handle money doesn’t mens you don’t need help with ADL’s
