What Rating Can the VA Give Knee Pain? 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.
£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.
Some knee pain, especially pain caused by osteoarthritis, will likely be permanent. That's because the structure of the knee is damaged. Without surgery or another type of extensive treatment, you'll continue to feel pain, inflammation, and swelling in your knee.
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.
