Question
cooter
When in the process filing out a claim, and trying to explain how a secondary is related to a SC issue, would it be reasonable to state all the factors that contributed to the making of the secondary to form?
The reason I ask, concerns the credibility and the amount of evidence the rater is going to need to justify his/her decision. For example;
>>>>>>"Due to the aggravation from my SC knee, has contributed to me falling and ambulating with an abnormal gait thru out the years, which has resulted in the injuries of my lower back"<<<<<<
Since it's already proven that abnormal gaits do aggravate other parts of the body, and falling could injure any part of the body, would it be more advantageous to just state the abnormal gait, with evidence in the claim, due to the fact I don.t have any evidence relating a back injury to a fall, even tho I do have medical evidence of falling due to the SC knee?
I apologize for this post being longer than it should, but I wanted to make sure everything is covered so hopefully there wouldn't any doubts when responding.
