Question
Elperro
Hello,
I have been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of my right and left Hip. I completed a claim indicating that the avascular necrosis of my hips was secondary due to chondromalacia of my right and left knee with instability (40%). Went to the C&P exam, was examined and had x-rays taken. I recently received my award letter and won an award for chronic ligamentous capsulitis bursitis, avascualr necrosis of my left femoral head (10%). However, I feel I have been misdiagnosed by the C&P medical examiner due to the fact that I did not receive an award for avascular necrosis of my right hip. The award that was won regarding my right hip is chronic ligamentous capsulitis bursitis degenerative cyst (10%). Since then I have had two surgeries and have a prosthesis on my right and left femoral head.
My question is what do I do? Request an increase or appeal the decision of the award that I received. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
