Hello folks,
I asked the Phila. regional office, the VA claims guy at the VA and another "specialist" from my local govt, all three had incomplete and non-specific answers as to starting a 100% convalescent rating claim. I had back surgery (spinal fusion L5-S1) 11 FEB 09 and will be out of commission for a while. Also when should I start the process of re-evaluation for the back rating (20%), after the convalescing period I would suppose.
1. What is necessary for a successful convalescent rating.
2. When should re-evaluation for increased benefit begin.
Thanks in advance,
E. Tomlinson
