How do I get a temporary 100 percent disability from the VA?

Is the VA free for p & t veterans?
All VA health care for a 100% P & T veteran is provided at no cost to him/her. I avoid the term “free” as I don’t believe that is correct. These benefits were paid for far in advance during the veterans active duty service to our country. Veterans who are 100% Permanently and Totally (P & T) disabled are entitled to a number of added benefits.

How are 100% disabled veterans treated at the VA?
They see 70% and that clearly isn’t 100%. They know that only 100% disabled veterans are eligible so they deny access to the benefit. And the veteran is charged a copay at his VA health facility when he is treated for a non-service connected disability, or his dependents are denied their benefits.
What are the benefits of being a 100 percent p & t?
The major benefit of being deemed both “Permanent and Total” or 100 P is that veterans are protected from a VA ratings reduction. This means the VA can NEVER reduce your VA rating! Furthermore, being rated 100 percent P entitles you or your family to a host of additional VA benefits, which are highlighted in this post below.

Is there P & T box for 100% disabled veterans?
On some Rating Decisions, there is a P box that will be checked if the veteran’s 100% disability is permanent. On others, there may be language like “Eligibility to Dependents Chapter 35 DEA / CHAMPVA are established” or “no future exams are scheduled” – both of which indicate permanence.
