Veteran Knee and Joint Injury
Disability Attorneys
Miles and miles of marching with heavy packs and carrying heavy weapons or equipment can take a massive toll on the body — and many veterans feel that toll for years after they have left the military. This cold, hard reality has led to more than 2 million veterans claiming knee and joint injuries as a disability, making these types of injuries the second most common disability among military veterans. The chronic pain and decreased mobility that go hand in hand with service-connected knee and joint injuries can lead to additional long-term medical conditions that impact the day-to-day life of our veterans. When veterans impacted by these injuries and medical conditions submit a disability claim with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, they may face a variety of challenges — and a veteran knee and joint injury disability attorney can be a valuable resource. VA Benefits Attorneys is here to help you receive the disability compensation you have earned.

How We Can Help
Legal Support and Services for Veteran Knee and
Joint Claims
Do you battle long-lasting chronic knee or joint pain? Does a lack of mobility impact
your day-to-day life? A veteran disability attorney — like VA Benefits Attorneys — will
provide you with the legal, support, knowledge, and expertise that you need to file a
successful disability claim for your knee or joint injury, and we will help you achieve a
positive outcome for you and your family.
Establish Service Connection
There are several steps you will need to take to file a successful VA disability claim — but establishing a service connection between your knee or joint injury and your years of service is paramount. An experienced veteran disability attorney will help you collect the
documentation and evidence you need to establish a
medical nexus for your injury that will serve as the foundation for your claim and establish your service connection.
Collect Evidence and Documents
The medical documents related to your knee or joint injury will serve as the evidence and foundation of your disability claim. Many veterans who approach the VA claims process do not know where to start, and that is where a veteran disability attorney can help. Documents that veterans may need to establish a service connection and submit a successful claim include a medical Nexus Letter, your DD-214, additional personnel records, service treatment records, Buddy Statements, a formal medical diagnosis, medical support documents, and more.
Appeal Denied Disability Claims
There is a chance that your initial VA disability claim will be denied. Veteran disability claims can be denied for a variety of reasons, but a denied claim does not mean that you are out of options. You can appeal a denied claim with the help of a veteran disability attorney via a trio of channels — a Higher-Level Review, a Supplemental Claim, or presenting your claim in front of a Board of Appeals.
Are You Eligible for a Knee or Joint Injury Disability Claim?
What Is a Veteran Knee or Joint Injury?
Knee or joint injuries — and chronic knee or joint pain — are a common disability faced
by many military veterans. The heavy toll that military training and combat can have on a
veteran’s knees and joints can lead to debilitating pain in day-to-day life. Veteran knee and
joint disabilities can include a limited range of motion, Degenerative Joint Disease,
ligament and meniscus tears, joint instability, and much more.
Veterans who hope to receive disability compensation for knee or joint injuries must
meet specific criteria to receive a disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs
that is based on the range of motion. In addition to a current medical diagnosis — the
veteran must have medical documentation to establish a service connection and
foundation for the claim that includes a medical Nexus Letter, service records, and other documents that can help establish a service connection. Knee and joint injury claims do not need to be tied to combat and can be directly connected to years of hard training, a slip, fall, or other accident. Veteran disability ratings and compensation for knee and joint injuries are based on range of motion, joint instability, Ankylosis, functional loss of movement, and The Painful Motion Rule.
