Hello all! I am contemplating filing my intent to file for bilateral knee and ankle. I have service connected Internal Derangement of Left Knee @ 30%. I have had it since I was SC'd for it sometime in 2012 after i exited AD. It has been some time and my other knee screams as well as both my ankles. My plan is to get an IMO done for the issues and submit it. My main question is: for the ankle that is on the same leg as SC injury, is this considered a bilateral secondary as well or is that a separate secondary claim for the knee? If there is anything else that I may be missing with filing all this correctly, please feel free to let me know! Thanks for all the help!!
