Just recieved John's C & P report on degererative joint disease of the right and left hip. This was an appeal 2ndry to his back. diagnosis: mild degernerative joint disease of the right and left hip. Discussion: for the veteran's bilateral hips, it is less likely than not that the veteran's bilateral mild degenerative joint disease was caused by his service connected low back condition. It is unlikely that hip arthritis is caused by arthritis in the lower back. it is less likely than not that the back condition permanently aggravated the hip arthritis.
Question: John is rated 100%, should we presue this or should we just drop it?
Has anyone ever tried to presue hip degenerative and won ?
How would we presue the hip disease?
while in military in boot camp with all the running and exercise a person does would this not cause hip disease?
Your respondes will determine if I nag him to presue.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Oh by the way Our VA Rep's Boss told her to tell us to appeal this back in March of this year.
