0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted June 11, 2014 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 11, 2014 I am not an expert on the knee, but took a look. I apologize but I am not familiar with how to read this DBQ. What are your current knee rating(s)? Knowing that might help another member help you.

0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 11, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 11, 2014 The exam seems incomplete to me. The exam doctor did not review your civilian, VA or military records? That is what it seems to say. All the exam did was a so-called doctor just looked at your leg and made a DX and prognosis. He/she did say "At least as likely as not service connected". You need powerful IME/IMO to get higher ratings. You could also claim depression/chronic pain disorder as secondary I think due to disability and chronic pain. I believe vets should claim emotional injuries when they have severe physical injuries that limit their lives significantly. Look at this like the first battle in a war.
