A knee disorder that prevents you from working is good enough to start the process of applying for disability benefits. A successful doctor's diagnosis of a knee disorder is no guarantee your disability claims will also be successful, but it is an important starting point.
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.

If you have a disability – either physical or mental – you may qualify for financial help and benefits. Many people with arthritis struggle with mobility at times, and some struggle with their activities of daily living.
The VA rates knee conditions based on functional loss, assessing limitations in movement and strength, with ratings varying from 0% to 60% depending on severity and mobility impairment.
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.
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.
Multiplying Economic Damages Economic damages such as medical expenses and lost income are multiplied by a factor to account for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. The multiplier used typically ranges from 1.5 to 5, depending on the severity of the injuries and other relevant factors.
£14,840 to £26,190 for a moderate injury like a dislocation or torn meniscus that causes prolonged pain and mobility loss but not resulting in permanent disability. £26,190 to £96,210 for serious knee injuries that result in a significant permanent disability such as limping or difficulties walking on uneven ground.
