A Veteran I am helping out with his claim's Recent
I read his award letter Back in Feb 2018 and they rated him 10% for pain!
they call it
''Patellofemoral pain syndrome''. ..his is pain is in both knees but they only rated his right knee. & the other left knee at 0%
So if you been rated for a disability...say arthritics or DJD and you are Service Connected for it and get a lower rating % such as 10%...you should be able to or meet the criteria for rating of the pain that disability causes. it maybe a low 10% but those 10%add up.
if you use a VSO have him/her to check on that for you.
I know I read some where (can't remember) but the VA is Now rating our pain for compensation.

I believe that is due to Saunders V Wilkie, explained here: https://cck-law.com/news/federal-circuit-court-rules-pain-considered-disability-for-veterans/
