We prove that if \mathbbF is a field of positive odd characteristic p, and m, and n are positive integers such that m≥2, and n≤ p, every n× n nonderogatory matrix A∈ \mathbbMn(\mathbbF) which is sum of m idempotents and a nilpotent, has a decomposition A=E1+E2+…+Em+V, such that Ei2=Ei, for every i∈ \1,…,m\, and V[(p-2)/(m)]+2=0.
