VA DISABILITY

Salty,

I know a great church plant that could use a little disability . . .



Congratulations. It is a wicked process.

 

I chose adjust your pre-exam activity for this reason. Most disabled vets have learned to temper their activity so as not to enflame the situation but if that diability were not there they would no doubt be very active. The question is does the injury affect your normal activity not your limited activity. If one does not have an injury what would be normal?

I believe you should attempt to pursue a "normal" routine, that is, do the things you would normally do as if your knee was functioning normally before your visit.

Disability, in theory, is negative deviation from "normal" ability. If you are being evaluated on the basis of "normal" ability, you should give the evaluator an honest demonstration of your disability.

If you pamper your knee before your evaluation, you are not giving the evaluator an opportunity to properly assess your situation.
