Preparing for a VA C&P exam for a joint condition? VA attorney and Army combat veteran Ed Farmer explains how the VA rates joint disabilities—including the role of functional loss, flare-ups, and pain—and how to avoid the common mistakes that cost veterans their benefits.

In this video, Ed breaks down how examiners measure range of motion, why documenting the exact point where pain begins is critical, and how fatigue, weakness, and flare-ups factor into your rating. You’ll learn how to clearly explain your limitations, describe flare-ups in terms of daily activities, and catch examiner errors that could lead to an unfairly low evaluation.

If your claim has been denied—or if your current rating doesn’t reflect how much your joint condition truly limits you—Ed also covers the steps to appeal and strengthen your case.

Joint claims can be some of the toughest cases veterans face, but with preparation and the right advocacy, you can give the VA the evidence they need to grant the benefits you’ve earned.
