I was originally awarded 20% for Bilateral Osteoarthritis . I desperately need a follow-up examination for functional loss . My C&P Examiner Could see how much pain I was in with my medical file . He needs my 201 file . Over 600 static jumps , never fell out of a road march and maxed every PT test . My knees lock up sometimes when I sit for too long. I need a functional loss follow-up . Thank You !
I received one rating for my knees even though I had issues with all three areas you mentioned plus I had a menscus tear and currently recovering from surgery. I do not agree with my 10% rating. I filed a FOIA to get a copy of my C file to see how the C&P examiner filled out my DBQ. Thanks for the heads up. I felt something wasn't right.
they basically gave you a blanket rating that covers all three areas i had mentioned. idk how to go about fight it. what i do know is getting it service connected one by one. meaning putting a claim in for knees but limitation of flexion.. then limitation of extension, then instability of the knees
@@combatvetvlogger8685 I applied for Temp 100% due to convalescent recovery. Submitted all of my documents and they are sending me to another C&P exam later this week?? WTF
i was an airborne forward ovserver. my legs (knees and ankles) are shot now. pop all the time random weakness just annoying at night cant fall asleep cause i have the sensation to pop my ankles over and over. i have no paper trail so i cant even do a claim on it and ive been out of service 2 years now so. feels badman
so start creating a paperwork trail now my brother. go to the va and let them know that this start when you were in service... they cant deny your service
Very complicated. I have a service connected right knee injury that consists of edema and osteoarthritis inflammation. My right knee freezes stiff when I stand up/down from a daily 4 1/2 hour round trip per day. I submitted two nexus letters from license Doctors for my left knee secondary to right. Osteoarthritis, edema, bakers cyst, etc; they VA will see me for C&P exam this Friday. Overall It has taken 38 years to be awarded disability. Please tell the guys to get copies of there service medical records and civilian. God bless keep up the good work. Semper Fi
Will one DPQ cover all knee conditions in one submission? Do you have to list separate diagnostic codes on claim or will they see symptoms of DPQ and award?
Is their anyone here in the comment section that had any procedures done on an ankle while being on Active Duty I had suffered an ankle inversion while on base was rushed to a civilian hospital in an 🚑 in 2008 just my first year on Active duty went through physical therapy on base for about 6 months tested for range of motion, pain and was on percocet. I was able to keep that burning desire to complete my Active Duty contract now that I'm a veteran after being honorably discharged in 2011 my ankle hurts in 2019 my condition worsened over time now my question is what's the procedure to get this claim submitted to the VA I have a VA Member ID Card and visit the VA just got diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea was issued a CPAP machine at the VA hospital but I want to submit my in-service ankle claim first since it's the more logical claim with evidence thats linked to my in service years?
Man the c and p quack I had says oh so your having a good day huh... Get on the bench can't have a good day... He spent 20 mins poking and prodding my knee when it was successfully pissed off he did the exam... Said it would only go to 20% extension and 85%retraction then he pulls out a tape measure measures my cane arm and my 2 calves he says I have over 1 inch of atrophy in my bad leg... And my knee gives out on me about twice a week... What does this mean he kinda freaked me out...any ideas? Thanks.
it means he hooked you up. check this website out.. www.militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com/kneeandleg.html sounds like he gave you 30% and 0% but service connected for both.. and gave you muscle atrophy. and he gave you instability of the knee.. lol he hooked you up
my apologies but i was in a rush when i made the video.. yes extension is when you are straightening your leg in a sitting position and flexion is bending at the knee when in the sitting position..
@@combatvetvlogger8685 is the starting position at 90% and do you have videos on th ankle....i watch it about 3 times and i get it.I think if you would use live person in illustration it would be great.Thanks for replying.
i only have an interview of a Marine who had ankle surgery that i helped file his claim for on his ankles after he got his surgery... he received back pay and all.. i will post it up later when i have edited it.. and i can definitely use live person illustration that is a great idea.
Great stuff thanks brother, i got a c and p exam on the 28, i think i got this👍👊👊
i hope you get everything my brother... stay positive and if not keep trying... go for the appeal

Will one DPQ cover all knee conditions in one submission? Do you have to list separate diagnostic codes on claim or will they see symptoms of DPQ and award?
But where can you get a DBQ for knees with a current date? I got low balled 10% for both knees.
print out the dbq and hand it to your doctor if they believe you deserve a higher rating based on range of motion of your knees.

Is there a way to contact you? I have a lot of questions.
Yes at Combatvetvlogger@gmail.com
Throw money at it.
Is he saying extension is going up and flexion is going back because he keep mixing them up.
my apologies but i was in a rush when i made the video.. yes extension is when you are straightening your leg in a sitting position and flexion is bending at the knee when in the sitting position..
