Confused On 100% Post Surgery

Rate this question


Stilt

Question

My question concerns the process for receiving 100% compensation post surgery. I filed my AO claim prostate cancer in May of 2011. This is my first disability claim. I had surgery to remove prostate in August 2011. I sent the VA all the doctor reports relative to the surgery during the latter part of August. I had C & P exams in September and October of 2011. C & P noted the fact I did have the surgery. My question is am I required to file a separate claim to be compensated at 100% following the last treatment for the prostate removal surgery [or will the VA note that the surgery was perform and automatically compensate me for the six months following treatment]? My initial claim has not been approved yet.

The Prostate Cancer is a part ot the picture.

You have to consider if the cancer has escape the area and the amount of damage that was done from the surgery (SMC) , also ED.

If after post surgery, if it has escape you would get another 100%, like in the case of mine it had escape into the lymph nodes and got a 2nd 100% and along list of other secondary condition's.

But it does not matter how many percent you have, It still 100%.

If your condition improves they will start lower your percent down

I'm sorry, Have they check your PSA., and hopefully 00.000 Psa level.

What was your gleason score's? if you don't mind:-) Mind was Gleason score 9 (4+5)

I hope the best on your compensationsmile.png . Once I filed it was a 11 months to get my packagesmile.png
