Got DAV letter and so surprised - got 70% and got 100% temporary convalescence

[Navy4life]

So my DAV rep just called.  I am so happy!!!  I not only got an increase to 70%, I got 100% temporary convalescence for my broken right foot due to my left ankle!  I am so amazed!  I was told so many times that there was no way I would get the 100% because the right foot was not S/C, well I did!  They not only gave me the 100% for 3 months because my left ankle caused the right foot injury, I got 3 months of SMC-House Bound for three months as well!

My NOD is still pending for my right foot s/c, right ankle, and left toe condition.

My effective date is January 4th, 2016 for my new 70% rating.

My three months of 100% temporary convalescence and SMC House Bound is effective July to September 2015.

I truly believe the IMO from my VA Podiatrist sealed my fate for the 100% temporary convalescence.

Keep fighting Vet's!!!
