What Is Next?

On 4-6-2006 I was injured at work. In September 2009 I left work as I could no longer perform my duties as my knees were shot. I filed the claim with OWCP as a agrevation to a preexisting condition as I was on disability for my knees with the VA. The VA gave me a disability initially at 10% bilaterally. so I was at 20 percent. Later damage to my hips was considered and I was awarded 10 percent bilaterally on those so I was at 40 percent. The problem I have is that OWCP has rated me at Maximum Medically Improved and has applied permanet restrictions saying I can work only 4 hours a day from a seated position and reach my hands above my shoulders, These restrictions are deemed as permanet by OWCP. I was turned down for SSD as they felt I was still employable. However I have filed an appeal on my knees as according to the OWCP work capacity exam I am much more restricted than 40%. However I feel that if I send the VA the OWCP work capacity exam they will deny based on the opinion of my occupation caused my current issues. It looks like I will be medically retired by the Post Office and feel that my condition was way under rated by the VA. Is there a way to get this report to the VA without them assuming that the conditions now are work caused. Also will they cut my VA benefits in view pf these findings?
