Question
Andyman73
Ok, just got VA letter stating 30% for pes cavus(claw foot) w/plantar fasciitis. It does not say bilateral or not. Ebennies says same as well. On myHealthevet on the notes it has from the C&P exam, the examiner wrote this;
For both feet,
pes cavus(736.71)
plantar fasciitis(726.73)
Metatarsalgia(no code listed)
sequelae of heel and arch pain w/plantar fasciitis
metatarsal pain.
And for L foot only,
Hallux rigialis, mild to moderate.
Should not all these things be listed on my letter and disabilities list on ebennies? I know the VA likes to lowball everything they can, or just give one condition and ignore the rest. What say you?
