Question:

I have prostate cancer. If they remove prostate approximately how much money will I lose in dollars? 

Jim's Reply:

Veterans who are service connected for prostate cancer are rated at 100% on a temporary basis. A veteran alone (no dependents) who is rated at 100% receives $3,332.06 each month while the cancer is active.
 

Once the cancer is treated and you no longer have cancer, you are rated on the residual effects of all the treatments you received...radiation, surgery, etc. That 100% rating will fall to either 60% ($1,214.03), 40% ($673.28) or 20% ($301.74). The final rating is pretty much dependent on how many absorbent pads you use each day to control leakage of urine.
 

I'll let you do the math...good luck sir.
