Establishing a Service Connection for Foot, Hip & Knee Conditions
Pain in your lower body joints often stems from physical strain, repeated impact, improper gear support, or direct trauma sustained during service. These conditions are highly common among veterans and may qualify you for VA disability benefits. Survivor Sources Inc. supports veterans in Hyattsville, MD by helping gather critical documentation, including:
- A current diagnosis of a joint or mobility condition
- Service records showing physical activity, injury, or long-term wear and tear
- Medical evidence linking your condition to military service
Even if your injury was considered “minor” at the time, long-term complications like arthritis, instability, or limited range of motion may develop — and we help ensure it’s recognized.
What if my pain has gotten worse over the years?
Joint-related pain often worsens over time, especially without proper treatment. If your service-connected condition is now affecting your daily activities or quality of life more than before, you may qualify for a rating increase. Our team can help reassess your case, document changes in mobility, and file for increased compensation or secondary conditions.

How do I know if my foot, hip, or knee condition qualifies for VA disability?
If your condition limits your ability to walk, stand, bend, or perform daily tasks — and it can be traced to your military service — you may be eligible. Common qualifying conditions include:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Hip bursitis or arthritis
- Knee injuries or joint instability
- Degenerative joint disease (DJD)
- Labral tears, torn meniscus, or chronic inflammation
- Limited range of motion or “locking” joints
If you're not sure where to start, we’ll help review your service history and connect the dots between your condition and your time in uniform.
Understanding VA Ratings for Lower Body Joint Pain
The VA uses a range of criteria to determine ratings for foot, hip, and knee conditions, including:
- Pain on motion
- Instability or buckling
- X-ray evidence of arthritis
- Functional loss or reduced mobility
- Limitation in flexion or extension
You can receive separate ratings for multiple joint conditions if they affect different parts of the body. Survivor Sources Inc. helps ensure all your impairments are fully documented and considered, so you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
Can I get compensation for pain even if my X-rays are normal?
Yes. Even if imaging doesn’t show major damage, the VA recognizes that pain alone can qualify as a disability if it limits your function. Survivor Sources Inc. helps you explain and document your lived experience — including how pain affects your mobility, sleep, and work — so it’s accurately reflected in your claim.
