[100% Convalesant]

What is necessary for a successful convalescent rating.

What I had to do is get the copies of My surgery report from the Hospital and send them in They need to know when where what and The surgery Report I would believe covers it all

When should re-evaluation for increased benefit begin.

I think it would be the same day as surgery but Not sure on this One...

Maybe one of the Elders can answer this..Could be when we file..I know that in order for you to claim an intire month the surgey has to be done on or before the 10th of the month..

Its another process..Hurry up and wait..

Send this to where and with what form. Or just a generic hello letter send me money?

Thanks

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,
