**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.

**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.

####### 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.

**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.

**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.

**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.

**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.

**Explanation For Special Monthly Compensation Schedules April 21,
1992**

**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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

a\. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.

b\. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 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 USC 1114(1)
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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.

d\. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.

f\. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 1114(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), 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 51 with one k in addition to the
(1+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) while hospitalized).
The additional "k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the
limitation 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.

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

*a. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.*

*b. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 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 USC 1114(1)
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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 1114(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), 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 51 with one k in addition to the
(1+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) while hospitalized).
The additional "k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the
limitation 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.*

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

*a. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.*

*b. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 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 USC 1114(1)
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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 1114(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), 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 51 with one k in addition to the
(1+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) while hospitalized).
The additional "k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the
limitation 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.*

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

*a. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.*

*b. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 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 USC 1114(1)
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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 1114(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), 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 51 with one k in addition to the
(1+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) while hospitalized).
The additional "k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the
limitation 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.*

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

*a. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.*

*b. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 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 USC 1114(1)
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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 1114(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), 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 51 with one k in addition to the
(1+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) while hospitalized).
The additional "k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the
limitation 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.*

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

*a. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.*

*b. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 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 USC 1114(1)
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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 1114(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), 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 51 with one k in addition to the
(1+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) while hospitalized).
The additional "k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the
limitation 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.*

    rating to justify the SMC 51 hospitalized rate plus one "k") must
    accompany any award authorizing a hospital rate and again upon
    restoration to the basic "r" rate payable while not hospitalized.

    are subject to the limitation of footnote b.*

*h. 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

i.  *This code is for use if the entitlement to A/A, or A/A at the
    higher level of care, is based solely in the disabilities used to
    establish N ½ plus K. If A/A under subsection "l" is based on
    disabilities other than those used to establish N ½ plus K, SMC code
    55 or code 60, if a higher level of care is involved, must be used.
    The reduction for hospitalization under this code will be to the N ½
    plus K rate.*

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

a\. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.

b\. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 314 (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 USC 314(1) 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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 314(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), for compensable evaluation first established after August
19, 1968. (VAR 1350(G)).*

*g. If the veteran is entitled to any "k's" while hospitalized, a dummy
rating showing the new SMC Code to justify the rate payable (e.g.,
veteran rated under SMC 51 hospitalized with one k in addition to the
(L+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) on the dummy rating to
justify the SMC 51 hospitalized rate plus one "k") must accompany any
award authorizing a hospital rate and again upon restoration to the
basic "r" rate payable while not hospitalized. The award also will show
A/A Code 2 or 6 even though the veteran is hospitalized. The additional
"k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the limitation of
footnote b.*

*h. 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.*

*i. This code is for use if the entitlement to A/A, or A/A at the higher
level of care, is based solely in the disabilities used to establish N ½
plus K. If A/A under subsection "l" is based on disabilities other than
those used to establish N ½ plus K, SMC code 55 or code 60, if a higher
level of care is involved, must be used. The reduction for
hospitalization under this code will be to the N ½ plus K rate.*

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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

a\. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" based on A/A. Pay the "s" rate plus any "k's" to which entitled

paid on this basis.

b\. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 314 (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 USC 314(1) 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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to

*d. If the m or m ½ 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

award authorizing a hospital rate and again upon restoration to the

A/A Code 2 or 6 even though the veteran is hospitalized. The additional
"k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the limitation of
footnote b.*

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.*

*i. This code is for use if the entitlement to A/A, or A/A at the higher
level of care, is based solely in the disabilities used to establish N ½
plus K. If A/A under subsection "l" is based on disabilities other than
those used to establish N ½ plus K, SMC code 55 or code 60, if a higher
level of care is involved, must be used. The reduction for
hospitalization under this code will be to the N ½ plus K rate.*

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

a\. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.

b\. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 314 (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 USC 314(1) 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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 314(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), for compensable evaluation first established after August
19, 1968. (VAR 1350(G)).*

*g. If the veteran is entitled to any "k's" while hospitalized, a dummy
rating showing the new SMC Code to justify the rate payable (e.g.,
veteran rated under SMC 51 hospitalized with one k in addition to the
(L+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) on the dummy rating to
justify the SMC 51 hospitalized rate plus one "k") must accompany any
award authorizing a hospital rate and again upon restoration to the
basic "r" rate payable while not hospitalized. The award also will show
A/A Code 2 or 6 even though the veteran is hospitalized. The additional
"k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the limitation of
footnote b.*

*h. 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.*

*i. This code is for use if the entitlement to A/A, or A/A at the higher
level of care, is based solely in the disabilities used to establish N ½
plus K. If A/A under subsection "l" is based on disabilities other than
those used to establish N ½ plus K, SMC code 55 or code 60, if a higher
level of care is involved, must be used. The reduction for
hospitalization under this code will be to the N ½ plus K rate.*

# 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

a\. Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
"1" 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 "1" ½ rate
paid on this basis.

b\. The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
38 USC 314 (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 USC 314(1) 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" ½ is payable on
this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject to
limitation of footnote b.*

*d. If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½ plus "k's" subject to
limitation of Footnote b.*

*f. Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 314(q), eliminated
by PL 90-943), for compensable evaluation first established after August
19, 1968. (VAR 1350(G)).*

*g. If the veteran is entitled to any "k's" while hospitalized, a dummy
rating showing the new SMC Code to justify the rate payable (e.g.,
veteran rated under SMC 51 hospitalized with one k in addition to the
(L+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) on the dummy rating to
justify the SMC 51 hospitalized rate plus one "k") must accompany any
award authorizing a hospital rate and again upon restoration to the
basic "r" rate payable while not hospitalized. The award also will show
A/A Code 2 or 6 even though the veteran is hospitalized. The additional
"k's" payable during hospitalization are subject to the limitation of
footnote b.*

*h. 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.*

*i. This code is for use if the entitlement to A/A, or A/A at the higher
level of care, is based solely in the disabilities used to establish N ½
plus K. If A/A under subsection "l" is based on disabilities other than
those used to establish N ½ plus K, SMC code 55 or code 60, if a higher
level of care is involved, must be used. The reduction for
hospitalization under this code will be to the N ½ plus K rate.*

# Explanation For Special Monthly 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

a.  Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
    "1" 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 "1" ½ rate
    paid on this basis.

b.  The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
    38 USC 314 (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
    USC 314(1) 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" ½ is payable on
    this basis, reduce to "l" ½ plus any "k's" to which entitled subject
    to limitation of footnote b.

d.  If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½
    plus "k's" subject to limitation of Footnote b.

f.  Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 314(q), eliminated
    by PL 90-943), for compensable evaluation first established after
    August 19, 1968. (VAR 1350(G)).

g.  If the veteran is entitled to any "k's" while hospitalized, a dummy
    rating showing the new SMC Code to justify the rate payable (e.g.,
    veteran rated under SMC 51 hospitalized with one k in addition to
    the (L+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) on the dummy
    rating to justify the SMC 51 hospitalized rate plus one "k") must
    accompany any award authorizing a hospital rate and again upon
    restoration to the basic "r" rate payable while not hospitalized.
    The award also will show A/A Code 2 or 6 even though the veteran is
    hospitalized. The additional "k's" payable during hospitalization
    are subject to the limitation of footnote b.

h\. 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.

**Explanation For Special Monthly 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. The following footnotes will be used to determine
whether reduction is necessary.

**FOOTNOTES**

a.  Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
    "1" 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 "1" ½ rate
    paid on this basis.

b.  The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
    38 USC 314 (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
    USC 314(1) 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" ½ is payable on
    this basis, reduce to "l" ½.

d.  If the m or m ½ 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 ½ is being paid on this same basis reduce to m ½
    plus "k's" subject to limitation of Footnote b.

f.  Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 314(q), eliminated
    by PL 90-943), for compensable evaluation first established after
    August 19, 1968. (VAR 1350(G)).

g.  If the veteran is entitled to any "k's" while hospitalized, a dummy
    rating showing the new SMC Code to justify the rate payable (e.g.,
    veteran rated under SMC 51 hospitalized with one k in addition to
    the (L+A&A) rating would be rated under SMC 08 (M+K) on the dummy
    rating to justify the SMC 51 hospitalized rate plus one "k") must
    accompany any award authorizing a hospital rate and again upon
    restoration to the basic "r" rate payable while not hospitalized.
    The award also will show A/A Code 2 even though the veteran is
    hospitalized.

a.  No change in rate when hospitalized.

b.  The rate for any "k's" in combination with compensation paid under
    38 USC 314 (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
    USC 314(1) through (n). (38 USC 314(k))

c.  Statutory award for arrested TB(formerly 38 USC 314(q), eliminated
    by PL 90-943), for compensable evaluation first established after
    August 19, 1968. (VAR 1350(G)).

d.  Reduce because of hospitalization only if veteran has a rating under
    38 USC 314 (l) based on A/A, in which case rate under 38 USC 314(s)
    is payable, plus any "k's" to which the veteran is also entitled
    subject to the limitation shown in footnote b.

e.  Reduce because of hospitalization only when "m" rate is based on A/A
    for blindness (better than LPO), in which case pay the "l" rate plus
    any "k's" to which the veteran is also entitled, subject to the
    limitations shown in footnote b. Where A/A is based on other than
    blindness, see VAR 1350 (F) for the appropriate rate.

f.  Reduce because of hospitalization if the veteran is rated under 38
    USC 314(p) for blindness (better than LPO) requiring A/A. If,
    however, the rating is under "l" based on A/A, adjust while
    hospitalized in accord with footnote d.

g.  If the veteran is also entitled to additional compensation under "k"
    while hospitalized, a dummy rating must accompany any award
    authorizing the hospital rate and again upon restoration to full "r"
    rate payable while not hospitalized.
