Hope this works out for you. The VA bureaucracy has been messing with my dad for a couple years as well.

Good luck Darrell. You are not likely to get much as far as % disabled, maybe 10%-15% if they give you anything, but you have got to get that knee classified as Service Related, as it will almost certainly give you troubles later in life.

Considering I'm at 30% right now, MCPO -- it can only go UP.

Praying that everything will work out in your favor, my friend.

Your service is a blessing to all of us.

Congrats!

And while I've never served I've spent a lot of time in the VA office with my roommate trying to get his disabuility paid for
