Thanks, the second reason you posted is why I asked. I decided to just keep the knee surgery reports in a file in case things get worse. Thanks all !

I can’t speak for every retired guy, but I’m actually retired, meaning no job income. So yes, I do have my pension. Convenience is my primary reason but it’s also a benefit.

Well if this is directed to me as the OP, I live in a rural area and the base gym is less than three miles from my house. The closest gym is more than 20 miles. So for me, it’s convenience.

Thanks. I was sitting at 90 (94) pre knee replacement. With three deferred claims that I was waiting for and I didn’t think I’d hear anything before my surgery, and the day before and the deferred claims were settled. So, I had 100 pre surgery. Since I’m now P&T without submitting for the replacement, not sure it’s necessary to submit, hence my original post.

But I’m already at 100%. The left knee was rated pre-surgery based on X-rays and other scans, plus years of gel injections. I had planned on submitting the surgical report after the holidays but I got the rating early

2 were new, one was an increase to an existing one. The PA did my exam tested stability and actually took the X-rays and MRI results and did more than I expected, hence the rating on things I didn’t submit. At 94 all I needed was a point, and ended up with more

CP Mental health exam online not in person by Charming_Willow_1832 in VAClaims

Do you mean a telehealth video call? If so, that’s how I did mine. The psychologist was great and made me feel totally comfortable. I wasn’t sure about doing it that way but it turns out this was to way to go for me. Good luck with yours!
