Torn Hip Cartilage
in VA Disability Claims Research
Posted
I am ETSing after 8 years in the Army. I was injured during training in May. It took about 5 months of tests and back and forth with my PCP before I was diagnosed with torn cartilage in my hip. The pain and inflammation is severe enough that I’m having to use a cane to get around. I was told by my PCP that I need surgery for my hip, and that the VA “will handle it” once I’m out. I was told that the VA only gives a max of 20% for hip. Is this accurate? I’m in terminal leave now, did a BBD and an just waiting to get my dd214 to submit. I’m just looking for advice/experiences I guess. I’m already looking for work, but finding a company willing to hire someone with a cane, is proving difficult.
