I am currently rated @ 0% and have been since I first received my rating in 1994. I have tried to appeal the rating the same year but lost interest due to deciding to try and work and raise my son. In 2013 I was told that I would have to get knee surgey and again restarted my claim to increase my rating. I did have the surgery in Dec 2013 and was surprised that I received a check for my time that I was out of work which I was suppose to be out for 4 months but went back early due to a good job opportunity. It is now 2016 and I again have to get surgery on the same knee and since I already know I will get 100% while I am convalescing I was wondering if it gets paid monthly or is it paid at the end of the period I will be out. Since I do not receive any monetary amount due to my 0% rating would I receive the full amount for the time I am out of work as stated by my doctor.
