FAQ
We put a lot of weight on our knees every day, and when a knee disability makes walking or standing painful or impossible, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits.
Diagnosing a knee injury or problem includes a medical examination and usually the use of a diagnostic procedure(s) such as an x-ray, MRI, CT scan or arthroscopy. Both non-operative and surgical treatment options are available to treat knee pain and problems depending on the type and severity 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.
For example, a serious knee injury may be rated 11 to 24 out of 100. The applicable general damages award is between $21,740 and $57,930 (at the time of writing, assuming the Civil Liability Act applies to the claim). If there is no cap, then the court can award you more for general damages.
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 prove your knee condition is service-connected, you need a current medical diagnosis, documented evidence of an in-service injury or event, and a medical nexus linking the condition to your service.
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.
To prove your knee condition is service-connected, you need a current medical diagnosis, documented evidence of an in-service injury or event, and a medical nexus linking the condition to your service.
Knee pain can receive a disability rating from 0% to 60%, with the average VA ratings for knee conditions being between 10% and 30%. The more pain and less mobility you have, the higher your rating will be.
You have to be able to prove that your ability to walk is significantly affected by the dysfunction of your knee joint. With all knee disabilities you have to show that your knee pain prevents you from performing any job for which you could reasonably be trained.
