Tips for Ankle Claims
- Document symptoms thoroughly - Include frequency, duration, and impact on daily activities
- Get a nexus letter - Link your condition to your military service
- Prepare for C&P exam - Know your diagnostic code's rating criteria beforehand
- Claim secondary conditions - Many ankle conditions cause or aggravate other disabilities
Remember: Secondary conditions are often overlooked but fully ratable. If one body part is wrecked, the parts compensating for it probably aren't far behind.
