Okay thanks to some part of this forum I am 90 percent. I have not gotten back my paperwork but want to ask a question anyways.
I recieved disability for everything I asked for, bilateral ankles, bilat knees, bilat hips. Yes everything was approved but most were 0 percent disability.
I had pain in all of it, shouldn't pain be a disability. I didn't ask for those, I was going for pain for the most part. Should they have given me pain since I was in moderate pain and some severe pain with these body parts.
My knowledge is a retired trauma nurse but for some reason I can not wrap my head around how the VA disability math works or the whole system for that matter.
Can I fight this for my last 10 percent and have it back dated?

You received the rating for pain for both right and left hip with the 10% for osteoarthritis. The 0% are all for ROM. The VA doesn't grant a pain rating for every motion of the hip just the overall.
