FAQ
If you suffer a knee injury in an accident that wasn't your fault, you are well within your rights to seek compensation. Your claim should cover any pain and suffering you've endured as well as any loss of amenity. Furthermore, it should ensure you don't lose out financially too.
To qualify, you need to prove the following: You had a pre-existing condition affecting your knee before military service. Your military service worsened your underlying knee pain. You experienced an increase in disability unconnected to the natural progression of the condition.
Obtaining VA disability benefits for knee pain can be challenging. However, while reported knee pain may not be enough to qualify a veteran for benefits, there are some knee conditions that can. These conditions include: Osteomyelitis.

These criteria include: A current medical diagnosis of a knee injury; An in-service event, illness, or injury; and. A nexus, or link, between your knee injury and the event, illness, or injury during service.
