Did you spend time in a VA hospital or VA-approved hospital for a military service-related disability called a service-related disability?
Yes
You can get additional disability compensation or benefits with a 100% temporary disability rating for the time you spent in the hospital. Find out if you can get this benefit.
Got it. I have another question about these disability benefits. I was injured at work. Are there any additional requirements that I need to know in order to see if I qualify for these benefits?
Yes, there are, but I can walk you through them to see if you qualify. Did you get your treatment for your injury at a VA approved medical facility?
Yes, I did. Can I get benefits?
Just one more question about your broken leg. Is one of your major joints immobilized by your cast?
Or did you have any surgery on the leg?
My cast immobilizes my ankle and knee.I did have a surgery on it before they put the cast on too.
If you are expected to take over a month to recover, and if you are using a wheelchair or crutches, then you should qualify for temporary disability benefits.
The surgery hasn't healed yet and they say it's going to be about three months for me to recover. That counts right?
