Hi. I just broke my leg and I can't do my job because I can't walk around. Can I get disability for that?
I am sorry to hear that you are injured. Did you injure yourself while you doing your military service?
Yes, I hurt myself while working.
You might be able to get a temporary 100% disability rating and benefits if you meet certain requirements.
================
But I hurt myself at work. Are there more requirements than that?
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?
Yes, you do meet all the requirements to qualify for disability benefits with the VA.
