The parties may agree to a different performance. This is called an accord. When the accord is performed, this is called an accord and satisfaction. The original obligation is discharged. In order for there to be an accord and satisfaction, there must be a bona fide dispute; an agreement to settle the dispute; and the performance of the agreement. An example would be settlement of a lawsuit for breach of contract. The parties might settle for less than the amount called for under the contract.

FAQ
The knee is one of the easily injured joints in the body and any type of knee injury could potentially result in a compensation claim. The important thing is to seek medical attention as soon as possible and keep a record of your diagnosis, treatment, and any time off work you may have had to take.
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.
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.
£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.
Suggestions for first aid treatment of an injured knee include: Stop your activity immediately. Rest the joint at first. Reduce pain, swelling and internal bleeding with ice packs, applied for 15 minutes every couple of hours. Bandage the knee firmly and extend the wrapping down the lower leg. Elevate the injured leg.
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.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and meniscus tears are some of the most common sports injuries affecting the knee. Patella (kneecap) fractures are less common in sports but may result from a high-impact trauma.
