Question

I had been rated at 20% for bilateral knee disability under DC 5260. When I asked for a increase the VA sent me for a C&P exam. The Examiner stated my bilateral leg extension was limited to 20 degrees which under DC 5261 would give me a 30% disability. The VA denied my claim for an increase. My question is if I had already been rated under DC 5260 but the C&P examiner stated leg extension was limited to 20 degrees should the VA rate me under the DC 5261 which would give me 30%? I also had a surgery to remove partial torn medial menicus. I pointed out to the VA this should be given a seperate rating. Also the Examiner stated my bilateral knee disability has severe impact on work and daily living. This is the information I put on my NOD. Am I correct in my assumption? What the VA did when I pointed this information out was send my case back to a rating specialist for review. Is this a good sign or will I have to take this farther to the next level? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
nanaeris
