I have a few questions on ratings. A few months ago i went to my first appointment in Nashville and was awarded 20% for my right shoulder, my left shoulder and both knees was awarded but at 0%. Can anyone shed more info on this. My right ankle which i thought had the most documentaion from service records was not awarded. i will appeal but did not understand the 0% rating. Some background, was in the USMC infantry from 84-90 and have had joint problems since but since at my early age could still function and i was never in combat i never did apply till after i was 50 years old. Now days i am having more pain as in every day so i applied.
The next question is I go next week for my 1st local apt in Hopkinsville Ky and they did give me a list of things to bring, Any other thoughts on what I need to do at this appt.
thank you
david
