I’m 10% R knee and 10%L knee due to Osgood Schlatter desease.

Could the compensation for this  condition be raised???

Most conditions can be raised.  The best thing to do is to look on a site like this http://www.militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com/vadisability.html

See where you fall into the condition and how bad it has gotten.  There are also times where it does not cover the severity of the issue and you would appeal to a Judge for a higher rating.

Look here: https://www.benefits.va.gov/WARMS/bookc.asp

 

Find knee (probably under muscular skeletal) and compare your symptoms and diagnosis from your doc notes to whats listed. Each percentage rating has criteria you have to meet, primarily range of motion, though pain can be rated as well. 

 

Make sure you have a relatively regular attendance to doctor appointments so you have a good record of how the condition affects you, then file.
