It's been quite a while since I last posted; family and health issues. I am 100% P&T. Three weeks ago I had a reverse total shoulder replacement. According to CFR 54.71A

sub-section 5051, 100% is granted for 1 year after surgery.  Would it be of any benefit, monetarily or otherwise, to file a claim on the shoulder replacement.

If you are not already getting , SMC(S) Housebound, you may get it for the time of the temporary 100%. It's about an extra $350/month.

I agree, but this only applies if the shoulder is service connected.  If its nsc, then you wont get the extra 354 dollars (SMC S) for it.
