In this video, Leah delves into the connection between knee pain and ankle pain in the context of VA disability claims.

Leah highlights several studies that support this connection, emphasizing the importance of obtaining medical reports to substantiate claims. She also notes the role of weight gain from service-connected disabilities in exacerbating joint issues, providing a comprehensive overview to help veterans navigate their disability claims related to knee pain.
