Foot Is Sperate From Ankle When>?

[c&p man]

for example if someone has a top foot fracture with bone spurs could this be rated under a foot disorder instead of a ROM ANKLE rating? i know my bursitis is rated under ROM OF ANKLE ... i know plantar fasciitis,clawfeet. etc.. is foot disorder......

I'm wondering if you might have a potential claim for a back condition like sciatica secondary to your service connected ankle and achilles tendon condition. Perhaps you should talk to your service officer about this.

Yea i am 40% for back..and 10% for sciaticia....

heck. I just had my doc call me and ask if I wanted back surgery after seeing an MRI. I have service connected feet and an ankle and I have been arguing that line for four and more years with no luck. Heck, they've even reworded my claim to deny me. :o

I wish you better luck!
