In the video Leah discusses meniscal tears and their connection to VA disability. She explains the anatomy of the knee, including structures like the patellar tendon, ligaments (MCL, LCL, ACL, PCL), and the meniscus, which provides joint stability. Meniscal tears can occur traumatically or degeneratively, leading to symptoms like joint instability, catching, or locking. Leah highlights that meniscal tears can be service-connected if they occurred in service or if they were misdiagnosed, with supporting statements needed for post-service claims. She also touches upon secondary service connection, where other joint injuries lead to increased wear and tear on the knee, potentially causing degenerative meniscal tears. Emphasizing that her discussion is not medical or legal advice, she encourages viewers to consult professionals for their specific cases.
