Preparing for a VA C&P exam for a knee meniscus tear? This video explains exactly what the VA is looking for under 38 CFR Part 4, including how they evaluate locking, pain, swelling, range of motion, and instability. Learn how frequency, severity, and duration of symptoms impact your rating, what happens during the exam, and how to avoid losing percentage by giving vague or incomplete answers.

You’ll also learn how to prepare with the right medical evidence—like MRI reports, orthopedic notes, and documented flare-ups—and how to clearly explain functional limitations that affect work and daily life. The VA can only rate what is documented, so accuracy and consistency are key. For more guidance, check out The Deck Plate and the Vets Portal app to help you build stronger claims and avoid preventable denials.
