Thanks for the correction to your previous post. 

The same point applies. It is not -sepov- doing this, but whatever it calls. 

Someone else -svy-savvy may be able to help with your main problem.

Thanks Nick,

actually, sepov store the values of FGT in e(b), not in e(V). See:

sepov renagr_nag rennag if famtipo == 1 [w=pesopes2], p(120)
strata(strat) psu(psu) ci meff
(sampling weights assumed)

Poverty measures for the variable renagr_nag: (unlabeled)

Survey mean estimation

pweight:  pesopes2                                Number of obs    =       849
Strata:   strat                                   Number of strata =        43
PSU:      psu                                     Number of PSUs   =       153
                                                  Population size  = 394883.36

I want to compare if 0.0649527 = 0.1953685 statistically, but don�t
known how to do this.

You will see that your statement is not quite correct. -epov- is not eclass and does not store anything in e(). Whatever e(V) you see is left over from -svymean-, or so I guess. This may help you move forward.
