AimHigh1986 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 The VA usually pays for the previous month, so Effective Sept 1 would mean pay for Aug. Sept. & Oct.= ending Nov. 1st. just my experience. David Got my retro today. 2 months of temp 100% instead of 3 months. I'm confused, yet too exhausted to fight it. I even noticed that my retired pay decreased a few bucks as of 3/3/10. Shouldn't I have received a slight increase in retired pay as a result of the temporary 100%? Very confusing...

AimHigh1986 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Congraulations on getting whats due you! Not sure about the 100% covereage time period, can you tell us more? Sure hope you are getting the care you deserve. Best to ya, Cowgirl Thanks! I was just referring to the schedule of ratings for coronary bypass surgery: it specifically states that you receive 3 months temporary 100% after the surgery. I've read in other posts that I only received 2 months because the VA doesn't pro rate, and my claim was rec'd on 3 Aug 09. So they're only paying me for Sep and Oct because they won't pro rate Aug. It doesn't seem right, but what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimHigh1986 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Are you able to work? If you are working that is a very good rating. Congrats Thanks! I'm able to work, but I don't know how much longer. I take a lot of leave without pay. I've got scarring/collapse in my lung as a result of the bypass, and it's difficult to breathe. My decision letter said that they're going to schedule me for a "at once" C&P exam to ensure that my 0% rating for my lung issues is accurate.
