Ok I have a problem again, I filed a claim for a service connected injury for a Total knee replacement on 4/15/2018 all necessary paperwork including VA forms were submitted, that claim somewhat disappeared 4 months later, so I submitted a second total knee replacement claim on 08/01/2018 they have labeled it as a secondary condition claim because I had to have it done all over again to replace the total knee again I had in the first place so in another words I had two total knee replacements on the same knee., I submitted all necessary VA forms and documentations as before, this morning on 09/14/2018 I was notified that I need to submit evidence all over again and I have until 10/10/2018 and the claim was move back to 05/15/2020 (What the Hell) what I uploaded all disappeared again, plus they are asking for Tri West billing statements this time because it was paid through the choice care program and approved by the VA. that's a first. They did not ask for that the last time so I resubmitted all documentation all over again and the new VSO I went with she is about as useless as pigs with wings. So am I missing something here or is the VA trying to NOT pay the 100% temp for the second knee replacement and making it a secondary condition. I have not found anything that makes a second total knee replacement a secondary condition unless someone out that has gone through this before?
