Service Connected Osteoarthritis And Degenerative Joint Disease
Rate this question
Question
Old 5311
The VA just determined the following conditions are related to my military service, so connection has been granted:
Degenerative joint disease cervical spine, assigned 10%.
Degenerative joint disease, lumbar spine, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Left Shoulder, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Right Shoulder, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Left Hip, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Right Hip, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Left Wrist, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Right Wrist, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Left knee, assigned 10%.
Osteoarthritis, Right knee, assigned 10%.
TOTAL 10%
Can this possibly be correct? I am crippled, and have continuous pain, even lying down. I cannot stand, walk or take stairs. The VA knows all this.
My hunch is they are waiting on attrition!
Someone please explain this decision to me or advise.
Thank You.
