jar Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I just got the results back from my C&P exam. Can someone tell me about what percentage I should be for this ankle injury according to the 38CFR. I am a little confused at what the rating should be.

HadIt.com Elder MikeR Posted February 18, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 18, 2009 It could be 20 to 30%, but it will depend on pain or Deluca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted February 19, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 19, 2009 Probably 20%. "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sehinchee Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Can someone explain how the Deluca factor works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder MikeR Posted February 19, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 19, 2009 Can someone explain how the Deluca factor works. I have seen them mention Deluca as most of the Ankle issues center around the ability to move the ankle, dorsiflexion, and Plantar flexion. Deluca was a case where they argued that pain was taken into account. I currently have a Plantar Flexion from 0 degreees to 2 degrees, and dorsiflexion from 0 to 7 degrees with no Deluca indicators on the C&P exam so I am currently waiting on what the AMC raters will do with that. Now my IMO indicated that I have pain so we will see. I think Deluca was good because even if you could move the ankle does not mean it is painless, and it forced them to factor in pain. If you have an Ankle issue they will sometimes watch you from the whole time you leave and then to the parking lot, and into your car. I have read a few of these cases where it was pretty obvious someone was faking it and they mention it in the report. It is truly sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
