Question
Ranmic
Good morning everyone! I'm currently SC for both of my knees (Degenerative Arthritis). I have a couple of issues and I was considering filing for an increase but am unsure it I should file for only one of them or both. I am considering filing for Flexion and knee instability due to the fact that I can only bend my knee backwards so far(painful) and also my knee(s) will give out on me periodically while walking or taking a step. I would like your opinion on if I should file for both flexion and instability and if so should they be one claim or two separate one? Again, I am currently SC for both of my knees and would be asking for an increase.
Also, seeing as how I am filing for flexion and or instability do I file an entirely new claim or file for an increase on my current SC knee?
Thank you!

You can look up your disability codes and see what is the next higher rating. A quick look and here is what I found. You can file for both since these issues are rated separately but that does not mea

You also may as well file together since if you filed seperately they would be combined anyway.
