I know that the VA gives Temporary 100% because I was given it when I had heart surgery. With that said, if the surgery isn't due to a service connected claim, I am pretty sure the VA won't do anything for you. Give the VA a call and ask them, or call DAV or the VFW. They have people that are trained in processing claims.

it is for a service-connected disability. i was just wondering if i am out of work, for example 45 days, would i get a month and a half of temporary 100% and half of my normal rating? or one month temporary 100% and one month normal rating?

SrA John Monette - IIRC after my last back surgery I got one month at 100% , then back to my regular amount.

So do they pay in addition to your sick pay from your job? Just curious because last year I was out of work for 10 weeks due to shoulder surgery (the shoulder is service connected). I know it's too late, but again, just curious.

they do pay in addition to. i will be using some sick leave from my job. filing for temp 100% when i get the doctor's note stating the recovery time. you can probably file retroactive for your shoulder surgery. don't know if there is a time limit on filing for temporary 100%

SSG Laurie Mullen The VA does Temporary 100% disability if it's service connected. You might be able to get back pay.

It depends on the procedure and how long it takes to determine a cure. I had a friend that was treated for prostrate cancer. He drew 100% during the time he was treated which it was reduced to 50% unemployable. He died a year later of COPD. He couldn't put down the cigarettes.
