Hello, First thanks in advance for any help. In Sept of 2011 I put in a cliam to have my disablity reevaulated ( 10% for the knee the dr screwed up) after all the exams and letters from Chiropractor adn other drs they approved my claim that because of my bad knee I now have chronic back and other knee pain this brought be up to 50%, I was totally happy with that. In May of 2012 I got the letter and I put in my dependant claim for my kids, last week I logged on to ebenefits to check status and notices another claim below it...when I opened it it stated it was for arthritis in my knee and sciatic pain from my back. I never put in that claim. I called VA the guy there said they had split my original claim, I called my service rep and they said just to leave it. My question is coulod it hurt the rating they just gave me? I don't want it screwe up after fighting for a year. Susan
