Denied
The veteran's claim for an extension of a temporary total rating beyond November 30, 2005, was denied as the evidence did not show that he required convalescence beyond this date.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence and testimony indicated that the veteran was able to return to work on December 1, 2005, which showed that he did not require continued convalescence.
