Question

VA screwed up as usual, I got a knee replaced and the VA is only giving a temp 100% for 2.5 months then down to 10%.

I have an appointment with a VA rep Monday, I wonder how long it will take to straighten this out.

It boils down to how long your doctor say you will need time to recover. Keep in mind that after your proposed recovery time the regional office will reevaluate your rating.

 

Temporary Disability Rating After Surgery Or Cast | Veterans Affairs (va.gov)

My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.

Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up.

I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

This sounds like a proposed reduction, but thats unclear.  Did your doctor say you were well after 2.5 months and a tkr?  Because most people take much much longer, like a year.  I know.  I got a TKR, and it took a year or more.  I still dont like to get down on my knees, and the surgery was in 2017
