[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need help in filing for disability for plantar faciitis

Posted: 12/9/2018 8:09:12 PM EDT

Over the years my feet have collapsed arches and my whole footprint goes on the floor. I was diagnosed in Afghanistan years ago with plantar fasciitis when I couldn't walk on my right foot for a week after a PT test there. Walking on the rocks in OEF 4 around Bagram really was a chore. If anyone has filed for this I would like to know where they found the information to fill out before filing. Thanks.

Seems to me that those Arfcommers who check in on the subject have had good luck with orthotics, new insoles and stretching exercises.

Have these failed for you?

In your local VA hospital there will be a DAV rep. Talk to them first.

The best advice right there. DAV was a big help for me when dealing with the VA for disability compensation.

DAV is the answer you seek. They are the advocate that veterans can trust for the right help.

PF sucks. I was a hobbling mess for six months.

Then I found this:
