Noftifying VA of retirement from job

[JDMilw]

I just received a rating of 100% for lung cancer.  I am going thru radiation treatment now and will complete it this Friday.

I am retiring from my job with the Postal Service at the end of May.  I am 64 years old.

Should I notify the VA of my retirement and will my retirement effect how long I will receive 100%?

Thanks.

My diagnosis was dated 3/1/16.  DAV submitted claim around the 23rd of March.  Not sure how VA came up with the 3/15 date.

Unofficial notification from DAV was dated 4/21 so I expect the official VA letter to arrive shortly.

AO and Vietnam yes.

All of my health care has been thru Kaiser and it has been excellent.  I've managed to survive colon and prostate cancer so far due in no small part to the care and treatment received.

Will post VA claim info when I receive it.

Thanks for your input.

Was your exam on 3/15? Wouldn't be Nehmer if you were just recently diagnosed and not previously denied, I believe. I'm not an expert on Nehmer claims though.

If the exam was on 3/15 then they assigned the date based on the exam date. In either case (3/1 or 3/15) the payment date would start on 4/1 because of the Omnibus law.

Meddac is correct....was this a very recent diagnosis by a real doctor ( AKA a non VA doctor) that VA was not aware of , so could not have denied in the past?

This is the latest information I found,  Have not received a VA letter yet.

What is the development letter?

Still hopeful the 100% rating will be P&T.

If you download and look at  your AB8 letter it will say on the bottom if  you are permanent.

Looking over the letters section it would appear that I am not P&T.  So I'm guessing my notification letter will have some type of instructions for C&P at a later date.

I will update the this thread once I receive my official letter.
