FAQ
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.
Interpretation of scores Scores are transformed to a 0–100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopaedic scales and generic measures.
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.
Knee injury claims will attract a compensation payout for pain and suffering calculated between £2,800 – £117,500. In addition – you can claim compensation for the financial losses and expenses you experience as a direct result of your knee injury, which will depend on your individual circumstances.
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.
Appeal to the Board If you disagree with a benefits decision, you can file an appeal with the Board and request to: 1) submit additional evidence, 2) have a hearing, OR 3) have the Board decide your appeal based on the same evidence as the prior decision. These options are called “dockets”.
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.
