So in 2012 i had a partial knee replacement i was already rated at 20% for my right knee. Fast forward to August 2014 i had been having difficulty with the knee never seemed to be right after the surgery but i went on with living with pain till it go to be to much, went to see my DR did x-rays and then exploratory surgery to find a torn ACL. My options were to fix it rehab it or just get the knee replaced i opted to have Knee replaced. Since i was already 20% disabled for this knee i figured it would be covered at 100%, filed my claim they sent it to an VA evaluator and his opinion said my disability had nothing to do with my original claim when i was diagnosed not once but twice by VA dr's. I have not gotten a decision yet but i am starting to worry after reading the evaluators opinion should i be or am i putting to much stock into it. I would not worry so much but i have been out of work since the surgery 3 months now so just kind of freaking out a little thanks for letting me rant. Any advice or comments would really help.
