What Should I Claim As Service Connected Or Secondary

[James 43]

Just got rated 10% for severe bilateral hip o.a , which I think I got low balled on. Plan to appeal that rating. I got turned down for service connection for my knees and lower back. Although I was treated for these problems in service and have continued treatment at v.a . My primary care states that the reason my knees and lower back are bad is a result of my severe o.a of my hips. Should I file nod for knees and back or claim them as secondary condition as primary care giver has stated.

Yes. Do as your PCP suggested, and file for it as secondary to the hip.
