Can you file Temporary 100% for Convalescence Retroactively

How long to you have to file for temporary 100% convalescence for surgery on a service-connected condition? I asked a VSO this question and he said I can file retroactively. so I put in a claim for surgery that was done in 2010. But since, I have heard, and read a BVA case, where you only have a year to file.
I need to know whether or not to withdraw the claim.
The VA is scheduling me for knee exam that is being scheduled that I believe is unnecessary. I am sure it is being scheduled because of my request for retroactive pay, however I already had a knee exam on 21 April 2016 as part of a re-evaluation exam.. The 2016 exam should be sufficient to determine my level of recovery from my 2010 surgery and it says "no future exams are required". It seems like a new exam is a waste of time and money, so how do I cancel it?
Is this a sign I might get retroactive pay and I should go to the exam, or should I just contact the VA about cancelling the claim and the exam? Since I am over 55 and I've had the knee condition for more than 5 years, I think it would be rather difficult for VA to reduce my rating, but I wouldn't put it past them to try. I almost feel like this is a form of harassment for filing 3 CUEs this year.
Thanks for your advice.
