The condensed version. In March of 2016, I was diagnosed with stage 4 non Hodgkin's lymphoma. I was in remission in October of 2016. I submitted a claim, was denied, went through a higher level review, appealed in November of 2016 and then in June of 2023 was notified that I had won the appeal. The VA instructions state that I am to receive 100% disability for a period of 2years at which time the VA will schedule a C&P exam based on the residuals of my cancer.
Due to the huge backlog of appeals my appeal took 7 years. Now the VA has decided to schedule my C&P exam 5 years after the fact. Here is my question, what rating should I receive for those 5 years? The rating that the 5 year late C&P exam decides? or the 100% while I waited for the C&P exam?
