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.

My brother has fought and is now at 20%!!! It took years of complaining!!!

Good luck Brother!!!

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

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

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

I hope things work out for you, D.
