Disability Compensation
The 10–100% table: new conditions, secondaries, and increases when a rated disability has changed. We help put current function in the file so VA can rate what is actually there.
Rating increases, Special Monthly Compensation, and new claims — veteran-led guidance from Nashville, nationwide. Complimentary consult. We do not bill 5× your VA increase.

Veterans Promise is a veteran-led shop in Nashville, working with veterans nationwide. We look at two doors: an increase when a rated condition has gotten worse, and Special Monthly Compensation when the 10–100% table never priced daily function — loss of use, Aid & Attendance, housebound. One hundred percent is not the ceiling. The consult is complimentary. We do not bill five times your VA rating increase. VA decides. We do not promise an outcome.
You are talking with veterans and veteran family members — a small shop, not a call-center mill. Based in Nashville. Files nationwide.
An increase is for a rated condition that worsened. SMC is for facts the regular table missed. We sort which door — or both — the file actually supports.
The first conversation is complimentary. We do not bill five times a VA rating increase. We will not guarantee a percentage, an SMC letter, or a dollar amount.

The 10–100% table: new conditions, secondaries, and increases when a rated disability has changed. We help put current function in the file so VA can rate what is actually there.
SMC sits beside the table, not on it. Loss of use, Aid & Attendance, housebound — facts a combined 100% still does not automatically pay. We screen for it, including veterans already at 100%.
When VA changes a rule in veterans’ favor, some files can pick up an earlier effective date. We look at whether the history actually fits — not every regulation change is a payday.
Our Process
Five steps. We start by sorting increase versus SMC. We finish by reading the decision for what VA granted — and what it never asked, including missing SMC.
A first conversation, not a contract. We listen, look at the last rating decision if you have it, and sort increase vs SMC vs leave-the-file-alone. Complimentary. Call (877) 778-0385 or start on this page.
We read the medical records and prior decisions and build a plan you can follow — which door, what evidence is already there, what is still missing.
We help gather treatment notes, statements, and the functional facts the rater actually needs — including who helps with daily care when SMC is on the table.
We prepare and submit the filing, watch the claim, and respond to VA requests. VA decides every claim. We do not promise a rating.
When the letter lands, we read it with you — percentages, codes, denials, and whether SMC, Aid & Attendance, or housebound was never developed. Missing SMC is a separate question from chasing another 10%.
Complimentary consult. We do not bill five times a VA rating increase.

GOT QUESTIONS?
Straightforward information about VA disability benefits and how Veterans Promise can help.
Rating increases when a granted condition has gotten worse, Special Monthly Compensation (including Aid & Attendance and housebound), and new or secondary claims when the file needs them. That includes veterans already at 100%. We are a veteran-led Nashville shop working nationwide.
No. Whether you are starting from zero or already in motion, we will help you identify the right next step and what documentation matters most.
Most of the veterans we talk to already have one. A rated condition that worsened is usually an increase. A problem caused by a rated disability is a secondary. Facts the 10–100% table never priced — loss of use, a regular need for help, housebound — are SMC, including if you are already at 100%. The complimentary consult is how we sort which, if any, the file supports.
SMC is extra or higher tax-free compensation for facts the regular 10–100% table does not price — loss of use, Aid & Attendance, housebound, and related statutory letters. It is not another 10% on the combined chart. Read our SMC overview. VA decides whether it applies.
Yes. We will help you get organized, understand what is needed, and build a clear plan from the records — without a mill script.
The first conversation is a complimentary consultation. We do not bill five times your VA rating increase. We’ll tell you plainly whether an increase, a new condition, or SMC fits the file. Read how Veterans Promise works.
Yes. The representative who signs onto a Veterans Promise application is VA accredited. That is the person VA sees on the claim. It does not mean every person at the company is accredited, and it does not mean we are VA or a VSO. Free accredited VSO help still exists if you want it.
No. VA decides every claim. We will not promise a rating, an SMC letter, an effective date, or a dollar amount. What we will do is read the file, name the theory it actually supports, and put the evidence in order.
Yes. Combined 100% is the top of VA’s regular table, not the end of the statute. We review those files for SMC, Aid & Attendance, and housebound — and for an individual code that is still underrated. Another 10% on an old code often will not change the 100% row. SMC might.
