I found this document while searching for other information and wanted to share it.   I don't know if it was here already or not.  I did a search but nothing came up.
It is PDF document created but the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) with a list of precedent setting decisions on appeals.  The last revision was January 2010  but there is a wealth of information in this document that I think could be of great use to everyone here.

Hi Everyone,
I wanting to help a Vietnam Vet who was drafted, had a knee surgery before service, 3 weeks in, started complaining about pain in knees..Saw a physician in service, provided temp profile, some meds and recommended medical Discharge. Military doc says it chondromalacia and it says it in the STR.  
Claim filed with just the STR record s. Not many due to only be in 90 days. No C&P requested, RO denied for aggravation,  SOC/NOD denied, BVA denied..
My question is, since a NOD has already been filed, should we seek for a CUE since the VA had no medical facts to sent the claim?.Or go for a MOT to the BVA? Vet had TKR, shots, therapy after Discharge.
BTW, we are going to file for the chondromalicia, limitation, pain, instability, etc. Also, the is only scar a on the induction exam. Nothing else.
Thanks for any and all replies. Only one shot at trying to get this Vet what he deserves as far as the NOD.
