How the VA Really Rates Osteoarthritis (Most Veterans Get This Wrong)

In this video, we explain how the VA really rates osteoarthritis and why having arthritis on an X-ray alone does not guarantee a VA rating. You’ll learn how the VA evaluates limitation of motion, painful motion, functional loss, flare-ups, and why each major joint is rated differently under 38 CFR Part 4 and Diagnostic Code 5003.

We also cover common mistakes that hurt VA claims, how painful motion can qualify for compensation, and why consistency in your records matters. Download Vets Portal for more veteran-focused education, and check out K&D Veterans Medical Assessments (KDVMA) for independent medical evidence and evaluations that support VA disability claims.
