I have to ask why my 2nd total knee replacement is taking so long it's been 6 months now since I had it replaced. Is it that hard to decide to weather or not grant me the 100% temp for the 1 year? or is the VA trying to figure out how to add a secondary to my first Total knee replacement? which I was awarded 30%. My first Knee replacement only took 6 weeks to process and get paid, but 6 months is a bit to far out there waiting when this claim should have been as easy as the first claim was.
here is what my claim says as of today, and another thing I never heard of a secondary for a total knee replacement unless it has to do with the VA replacing the whole knee joint for a second time around on the same knee
