VA Secondary Conditions to Knee Pain 

Also one bad knee as the years go by usually lead to the other knee going bad because of favoring the bad knee😢

Wow could have used you guys when I got out in 83 but you guys weren't even born yet

I've been struggling with the VA since 1983. Despite filing claims in 2014 and 2020, I was denied. Instead, I was granted a 30% disability rating for a scar on my forehead. I now have a 90% disability rating, but I believe I should have been rated at 90% back in 1983 due to the impact on my well-being and my demotion in rank.

Thank you for all of your videos they've helped me a lot. I just received a 20% bilateral knee rating, 10% for each knee and looking how I can secondary connect headaches and stomach issues. Question though shouldn't the bilateral factor from 38cfr4.26 be applied to my rating, increasing it by 10%?

Sadly, my experience with Bilateral knee issues is always getting under rated because even while painful, I had maintained close to normal flexion/extension. Getting other issues linked is another fight altogether, as it seems current VA guidance discourages direct links between knees/back/gait/obesity/etc.

Great video, submitted a claim for my right knee pain right after getting out. Issues and events noted in my medical records but denied by VA. Maybe it's because I didn't have a diagnosis???

What if you get a gel injection from the VA yearly, and you already have a 10% for one knee?

thank you. this helped allot

My left knee is very bad, I have no lift in my legs and knees. My feet are very bad also, because during my time we had those boots that will not bend. A doctor gave me admission for flat feet and they dismissed it.

My right knee has been replaced because of a surgery I had while on active duty, now I put more of my weight on the left knee for balance, because of that I’ve had my left knee replaced is this a secondary condition

Just getting a 10% rating on your knee can literally open you up for getting up to 100% based on secondary conditions.

Interesting, so it's possible to claim sleep apnea (current diagnosis and have cpap machine) secondary to knee due to knee limitations hindering proper exercise thus causing obesity.

I tried to get in touch with these guys but they are not so great at returning email. My guess is their case load is heavy and they don't have time for new clients.

Can you guys please do a video on 1151 claims?

Can a baker cyst be rated if knee pain exists?

Can I file for neck pain from a wreck that straightened 4 disc in my neck? Can I take my neck x-rays with me. Im going to file for my knee i hurt while in service. I only get 10% for my back and 20% for both hips.

I have flat feet in my knees hurt and my back hurts if that's a problem for me making a claim

Will a total knee replacement cause you to get a reduction in benefits?

very informative ty.

I need to talk to you guys
