Question
dittybopper
Hello,
I have a appeal of my award on my knees currently they are rated at 10% each, However I have asked for a appeal as the condition of my knees took me out of work (I am a mailman). The question is I filed with OWCP for an aggrevation of existing condition. Well to make a long story short I was sent to a work capacity exam. The results of the test shows according to their tests I can walk for 1/2 hour a day. I use a walker, It also states that I can only work 4 hours a day but must work from a seated position the whole time and can only reach above my shouldders. Kneeling, bending, crawling, climbing stairs are all considered to be things I cannot perform. This work capacity study also states that I have reached maximum medical improvement and the restrictions he listed were permanet. It also states that a effort to cure my issue on my right knee failed (had a lateral release surgery). The question I am asking is should I send this document to the VA office as more proof that my knee condition has gotten alot worse and makes holding a full time job impossible. I appreciated any help you can be in advance as I am really stuck with what to do with this report. I know it is going to retire me out of the Post Office but would this document be seen as acceptable proof.
