Just a quick question if someone can point me in the right direction I would truly appreciate it.
I am SC for several issues, my appeal for an additional knee injury is now in the DRO decision phase.
I went ahead with my insurance and had arthro on the knee.
Now 18 months later a specialist is now telling me I will need a partial or total knee replacement to correct the knee pain I am still having.
Can I file again for the 2nd surgery, obviously the condition has become worse and ask for disability for the 6-8 weeks it will take to get through the surgery and physical therapy?Thereby asking for a increase in disability rating as well.
Let me know, just lost at the moment about what to do.
