FAQ
Disability compensation benefits for Veterans The best way to file for disability compensation is to apply online at .va/disability. Or, you can fax it to: (844) 531-7818 (inside the U.S.) (248) 524-4260 (outside the U.S.)
A Knee Disability Must Impair Your Ability to Walk This may happen for many reasons, such as loss of range of motion, inability to bear weight on the knee, or amputation of the lower leg. Loss of function may result from a bone or knee joint deformity, neurological deficits, amputation, or soft tissue injuries.
What you would do is file for ``Service Connected Back Condition with Nerve Damage.'' Then file with a Personal Statement and all your medical records attached to this with your diagnoses circled or highlighted. Don't make it complicated, just give the VA your evidence and let them label your medical issues.
To win a VA knee claim, veterans submit three key components to prove a direct connection: a current medical diagnosis, evidence of an in-service event or injury, and a medical nexus linking the two.
Surgical Knee Repair or Replacement If you require surgery to repair or replace your knee, the VA may assign a temporary disability rating of 100 percent while you recover. Your temporary rating is good for up to four months following your surgery.

Lastly, VA will want to see a medical nexus letter for knee pain. A medical nexus is a document or statement from a medical provider that clarifies the relationship between your condition and military service. This can be from the same doctor that diagnosed your condition or a separate VA-approved medical professional.
