I have been of since 13 AUG from spinal surgery. I was told by a guy at the dallas va i should file for some kind of comp for my wife as my caregiver. Has anyone heard of this?

the cord has had pressure on it for an extended period of time. Thanks for your response.

13 APR 2011 I had 5 cervical vertebrae fused. They also did a laminectomy on the 5 disks (C3-C7) There was cord compression and it caused numbness pain and weakness in both arms/hands and weakness in my legs and my balance is off. I use a rollator (fancy walker). Surgical scar 5+ inches and deep. Let me take this one at a time. 1 Fusion of vertebrae possible compensation? 2 laminectomy possible compensation? 3 all bilateral extremities possible compensation? 4 i stager when I try to walk freely and sometimes fall possible compensation? 5 scar possible compensation? Cervical condition is presently rated at 10% What can I possibly expect? Man it too a real long time to type this cuz my fingers hit wrong keys oftenPlease. I read a dr's article that says in cases like mine my brain has no conception of where my fingers are in space and time. please acknowledge and thanks
