Question:

Received a temp rating of housebound 100% for prostate cancer, already had 50% PTSD and 10% tinnitus. A c&p after 6 months was reduced to 40% prostrate and combined 70%. Kept getting the 100% pay for a year and then got a new rating, withdrawing the reduction and giving back SMC (s) and SMC(k)? Is this now permanent? It doesn’t say temp rating. I’m 72 Vietnam Nam vet. Thanks very much.

If there is no reference to a future exam being scheduled, the rating is likely permanent.
