Presumptive prostate cancer

Rate this question


Dallas Prostate

Question

I am in the burn pit registry and have presumptive prostate cancer. My cancer was discover Feb 2022 and I had my prostate removed July 2022. Under 38 C.F.R., 100% disability will be assigned while cancer is active (Feb 2022 - July 2022) (5 months), and 100% for 6 six months after until a mandatory follow-up is performed. That's 11 months of 100%. Does that mean I will receive 11 x $3106.04? ($34,166.44) and is that paid in a lump sum?

Receive- Yes

Lump sum- some of it- from the effective date to the current date. The amount changed in December, reflected in January's payment 8.7 percent INCR) so going forward your figures are a little off but you get the idea. The pay tables are here: https://www.va.gov/disability/compensation-rates/veteran-rates/

(I AM NOT A RATER- I work the claims BEFORE they are rated, annotating medical evidence in your records, VA and Legal documents,  and DA/DD forms- basically a paralegal/vso/etc except that I also evaluate your records based on Caluza and try to justify and schedule the exams that you go to based on whether or not your records have enough in them to warrant those)
