Question

Ok. I was discharged in 1990 With service connected Disability (10% Plantor Fascitis) Was finalized in 1991. I have been receiving this since 91. So now as of 2008 I cant take it anymore and have really degenerated since and am re-opening my disability claim.
I know I have bilateral PF and its quadripaled in pain and has affected my knees,ankles and back in a very painful way. I can only stand about 15 minutes without sitting and relieving the pain which also comes from my knees and back to the point I cant even stand I cant work at my job fulltime anymore and tried a driving truck job to get off my feet and pain is just as bad with sitting all the time and it kills my back. I am very worried soon I will not be able to work at all. I have a wife and 2 kids and am really in a bind. I have no college education and am honestly hoping I will get some kind of relief from the VA.
It been a long time and I have fought to work and pull my wieght but I just cant anymore and Im only 38 years old. I called the VA and had them re-open my claim the other day and am just waiting for a letter to go up there to start the proccess. Is there anything else I should do? Or sombody else I should contact? Not sure where to go from here besides the obvious. And do I have any chance of getting the disabilty raised?
Thanks alot everybody and god bless!
