**FOOTNOTES: a. Rates for each school child are shown separately. They
are not included with any other compensation rates. All other entries on
this chart reflecting a rate for children show the rate payable for
children under 18 or helpless. To find the amount payable to a 70%
disabled veteran with a spouse and four children, one of whom is over 18
and attending school, take the 70% rate for a veteran with a spouse and
3 children, \$ 1232, and add the rate for one school child, \$137. The
total amount payable is \$1369.**

**b. Where the veteran has a spouse who is determined to require A/A,
add the figure shown as \"additional for A/A spouse\" to the amount
shown for the proper dependency code. For example, veteran has A/A
spouse and 2 minor children and is 70% disabled. Add \$77, additional
for A/A spouse, to the rate for a 70% veteran with dependency code 12,
\$1188. The total amount payable is**

**Appendix B**

**Explanation For Special Monthly Compensation Schedules**

**General**

When the hospital rate on the chart differs from the basic rate, the
rate shown is the amount payable when reduction is necessary**.**
However, some veterans under this code will be entitled to the basic
rate during hospitalization. Use the following footnotes to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**Footnotes**

a\. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
\"l\" based on A/A. Pay the \"s\" rate plus any "k's\" to which entitled
subject to limitation of footnote b. This also applies to \"l\" 1/2 rate
paid on this basis.

b\. The rate for any \"k\'s\" in combination with compensation paid
under 38 U.S.C. 1114(a) through (j) or (s) may not exceed the basic rate
payable under SMC Code 03; the rate may not exceed the basic rate
payable under SMC Code 37 when any \"k\'s\" are in combination with 38
U.S.C. 1114(l) through (n).

c\. Reduce because of hospitalization if \"m\" rate is based on A/A for
blindness (better than LPO) to the \"l\" rate plus any \"k\'s\" to which
entitled subject to limitation of footnote b. If \"m\" 1/2 is payable on
this basis, reduce to \"l\" 1/2 plus any \"k\'s\" to which entitled
subject to limitation of footnote b.

d\. If the m or m 1/2 rate is based on \"l\" for A/A (other than
blindness) and an additional 100 percent disability, reduce because of
hospitalization to the s rate plus any \"k\'s\" to which entitled
subject to limitation of footnote b.

e\. If the \"n\" rate is based on A/A for blindness (better than LPO)
plus additional disabilities, reduce because of hospitalization to the m
rate plus any "k\'s" to which entitled subject to limitation of footnote
b. If n 1/2 is being paid on this same basis, reduce to m 1/2 plus
\"k\'s\" subject to limitation of footnote b.

f\. Statutory award for arrested TB (formerly 38 U. S. C. 1114(q),
eliminated by PL 90-493), for compensable evaluation first established
after August 19, 1968. (38 CFR 3.350(g))

g\. If the veteran is entitled to any "k\'s" while hospitalized, the
rating must show the hospitalization SMC code to justify the rate
payable (e.g., veteran rated under SMC 5l hospitalized with one k in
addition to the (l + A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 25 (M + K)
while hospitalized). The additional \"k\'s\" payable during
hospitalization are subject to the limitations of footnote b.

h\. Prior to December 1, 1986, the rate for \"t\" was payable in
addition to the basic compensation rate only when the combined degree
was at least 40 percent but not more than 90 percent and the 100 percent
rate was not being paid based on individual unemployability,
hospitalization, etc.
