Sitting in my lazyboy, just researching because can't do too much because of my pain.
Let's see how I can communicate this effectively. I am service connected for Pes planus and Plantar fasciitis at 50%. Doing my research, this disability can cause other disabilities such as knees and back problems which I do have both with a diagnosis.
As far as my back condition, it is currently on appeal as it has been since 2017.
I had filed for direct service connection for knees and back and was denied.
If the VAMC recognizes that I have DDD/spondylosis and knee tendonitis, even though I did not file it as a secondary claim, if the medical professionals know that flat feet can cause these conditions, why wouldn't the VA consider it as a secondary condition? Why should I have to go back and re file to include secondary?
