First C&p Exam For Prostate Cancer

[retireclose]

I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in June 2007. I've gone through 32 weeks of radiation treatment ending December 2007. I just found out last week(Oct. 2008) that I would get some type of disability for being in Vietnam. I filed a claim last week with a VSO.

When should I expect an exam date? Since my cancer treatment was last winter will I get a temporary 100% disability?

Thanks,

It all depends on the status of the RO your dealing with. Some are busier than others. It would be hard to guess when but when they start to adjudicate the claim, they will most likely request a C and P exam.

In the meantime, You Know that the Prostrate cancer is a Presumptive condition. Here is the Nehmer information.

Good luck. Hope all is OK.
