Hello all. Followup on a post i did 4 yrs ago
First, thank you for this forum.
I have been 100% P&T rated for 15 years now. Part of that rating is 40% on my right knee.
My ortho surgeon recommends a full knee replacement of my right knee within 1 year.
I understand that normally with a knee replacement, it is 100% for 1 year of recovery and permanent 30% for the knee after that.
But my question is, since I am already 100%, if I go ahead with the knee replacement, how will that affect my 100% P&T rating? And will they re examine all my disabilities as well?
OR should I try and hold out for 5 more years until I reach the 20 year mark when compensation is protected from reduction?
Thanks all
Jim

I do not see where a knee replacement would mess up your 100% P&T. Tho we never know what evil lurks in the heart of the VA. I personally would go ahead with the knee replacement if it is hurtin
