VA Disability Benefits for Knee Injuries & Pain

Chronic knee pain or traumatic knee injuries suffered during service can make even simple daily tasks feel impossible when returning to civilian life. Many Veterans develop chronic knee issues during service, from carrying heavy packs to repeated impact on rough terrain or decks. Over time, those injuries can evolve into arthritis, ligament tears, or chronic pain and limited mobility that affect balance, endurance, and quality of life. The VA rates knee pain and injuries, depending on severity, range of motion, and the effect on everyday activity or employment. At United Veteran Benefits Agency (UVBA), we understand how debilitating these conditions can be and the pain or frustration that results from denied claims. Our team helps Veterans document medical findings, gather supporting statements, and build strong claims or rating increases to ensure full VA compensation for knee injuries and chronic joint pain.

Symptoms & Challenges of Knee Injuries for Veterans
Chronic Knee Pain

Chronic knee pain persists long after the initial knee injury occurs and can limit physical activity and affect quality of life or the ability to maintain employment for Veterans.

Mobility Limitations

Knee injuries and pain can severely limit mobility and range of motion, reducing both flexibility and strength for Veterans in daily activities and many employment responsibilities.

Arthritis & Degenerative Conditions

After experiencing a traumatic knee injury, additional joint wear and arthritis can arise as long-term effects that qualify for VA rating increases for knee pain.

Inability to Stand or Lift

Standing for long periods of time, lifting heavy objects, or walking long distances all become more difficult for Veterans with knee injuries or chronic pain, qualifying them for VA benefits.

How Can UVBA Help?

Helping Veterans Receive Maximum Compensation for Knee Pain

Knee injuries, chronic knee pain, and mobility limitations are frequent VA disability claims filed by Veterans from all branches of the military. UVBA helps Veterans who experienced service-connected knee injuries and other secondary conditions to gather medical records, supportive buddy statements, and other credible information that support their VA disability claim and accurately reflect the daily challenges their symptoms present. The entire team at United Veteran Benefits Agency works diligently to ensure each claim highlights both primary and secondary symptoms while establishing a strong service-connection between military service and specific knee injuries or chronic knee pain. Our goal is to work closely with you to procure the maximum benefits and compensation owed to Veterans suffering from chronic knee pain, secondary knee injuries, and ongoing mobility limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Knee Injury Disability Benefits
How will the VA rate my service-connected knee injuries or knee pain?

The VA rates knee injuries and pain based on severity, range of motion, and how the condition limits mobility or daily activity. Secondary conditions like arthritis can also affect the overall rating and compensation benefits for Veterans.

What evidence is most effective in supporting VA disability claims for knee injuries?

Medical records are the strongest form of evidence, but UVBA can help when records are incomplete. Our team assists Veterans in developing buddy statements from fellow service members, friends, or family who have seen how knee pain affects daily life.

Are there secondary conditions that arise from knee injuries, and can Veterans receive additional compensation? 

Yes. Knee injuries often worsen over time, leading to issues such as hip pain or back strain. UVBA helps identify secondary conditions and file for a rating increase when symptoms progress.

Is surgery required to file for VA disability benefits for knee injuries or knee pain?

No. Surgery is not required to qualify. Veterans can receive VA disability compensation for knee pain or injuries that are service-connected through medical documentation or credible witness statements.
