What YOU can LEARN from this video?

✅ Understanding VA Joint Pain Ratings: Learn how the VA evaluates joint conditions using 38 CFR § 4.59 and how painful motion, even with full range of motion, qualifies for a compensable disability rating (typically 10% for most joints and 20% for the shoulder).

Crucial CMP Exam Tips for Veterans: During your C&P exam, ensure you clearly communicate joint pain, especially during motion, regardless of whether the examiner asks. Pain must be documented to avoid denial during high-level reviews.

Using Diagnostic Codes to Your Advantage: Familiarize yourself with VA diagnostic codes (e.g., 5201 for shoulder) and M21-1 guidelines to support your claim. Even non-objective pain (pain not observed but reported) must be considered credible under VA regulations.
