I was told that I would get a temp 100% when I went in for the shoulder replacement and following rehab. Does this happen automatically, or do I need to be inputting some obscure form?

I went to 100% when my case was reviewed and approved (Agent Orange derived cancer). Stayed at 100% through medical procedure and recovery. I did not have to file any additional paperwork. After a period of time there was another case review and medical exam and my disability was reduced. For me anyway, it was all pretty straightforward and transparent. I did use an American Legion Service Officer as my conduit to initiate the process. Good luck with yours!!

Sgt Whitmire,
Don't believe the hype, go to the VA and make sure they have information about your claim, if they don't get busy online and submit your own paperwork. No one, truly knows how you're physically feeling but you. So do your own follow/paperwork. All the best....
