The VA uses a system to assess the severity of your service-connected disability and assign a disability rating, typically in increments of 10%.<\/p>\n<p>This percentage reflects how much your condition is presumed to affect your ability to work. This is crucial because your disability rating directly impacts your monthly compensation. For instance, a higher disability rating translates to a larger monthly payment. So, aiming for a higher rating is about securing the financial support you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>The VA rating is based on three different factors, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/disability\/about-disability-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VA<\/a>:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"factorsinfluencingyourvadisabilityrating\">Factors Influencing Your VA Disability Rating:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Average Impairment of Earning Capacity:<\/strong> This determines how much your service-connected condition affects your ability to work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Symptom Severity:<\/strong> This assesses the intensity and frequency of your symptoms\u2014the more severe and frequent your symptoms, the higher the potential rating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impact on Daily Functioning: <\/strong> This examines how your condition limits your daily activities. This considers the challenges you face in areas like self-care, mobility, and social interaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/usmilitary.com\/easiest-things-to-claim-for-va-disability-3\/\">Read the 10 easiest VA disability claims here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whencanyouapplyforanincreasedrating\">When Can You Apply for an Increased Rating?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s natural to wonder when the right time is to pursue an increase in your VA disability rating. There are a few common scenarios where filing for an increase becomes a strategic move:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"deteriorationofserviceconnectedconditions\">Deterioration of Service-Connected Conditions:<\/h3>\n<p>The most common reason veterans seek an increase is the worsening of a service-connected condition. For instance, if you were initially rated for hearing loss that has progressively declined, affecting your daily life more than before, it\u2019s a clear sign to consider filing for an increase.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"developmentofnewsymptoms\">Development of New Symptoms:<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, a service-connected disability can cause new symptoms or lead to additional medical complications over time. These developments might not have been present during your initial evaluation. Seeking an increased rating becomes essential to reflect these changes.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"incorrectinitialrating\">Incorrect Initial Rating:<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon for veterans to believe they received an incorrect rating. This could stem from insufficient medical evidence during the initial application, inadequate representation, or a misunderstanding of your condition\u2019s severity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usmilitary.com\/help-with-va-claims\/\">Get Help With Your VA Disability Claim<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"gatheringyourevidencetobuildastrongcase\">Gathering Your Evidence to Build a Strong Case<\/h2>\n<p>Just like with your initial VA disability claim, the key to a successful increase lies in the strength of your evidence. Gathering the right documentation helps you present a comprehensive picture of your condition\u2019s impact. The VA requires compelling evidence to support your claim.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"medicalrecords\">Medical Records<\/h3>\n<p>Updated medical records are essential. They should reflect the worsening of your existing service-connected condition or document new symptoms related to a previous condition. Ensure the records clearly link these developments to your service. When requesting updated medical records, consider scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider specifically for a VA claim review.<\/p>\n<p>If you can show evidence that your <a href=\"https:\/\/co.routt.co.us\/706\/Service-Connected-Disability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">service-connected disability<\/a> is noticeably worse, the VA should allow you to undergo a new evaluation to support an increased rating claim.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"personalstatements\">Personal Statements<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t underestimate the power of a well-crafted personal statement. It allows you to explain how your condition has worsened and its impact on your daily activities, work, relationships, and overall well-being. Describe the progression of your symptoms since your last rating decision. Use descriptive language to paint a clear picture for the decision-makers.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"buddystatements\">Buddy Statements<\/h3>\n<p>These statements are similar to personal statements, but this time, they\u2019re from someone who has witnessed your struggles firsthand\u2014a spouse, a friend, a fellow veteran, or even a caregiver. A well-written buddy statement can provide a different perspective, offering specific instances and observations that strengthen your case.<\/p>\n<p>Choose people who have interacted with you regularly and can attest to the progression of your condition. Ensure they clearly state their relationship with you and how their observations relate to your disability.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"filingyourvaclaimstepbystepguide\">Filing Your VA Claim: Step-by-Step Guide<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing the proper steps can alleviate stress. Here\u2019s a clear outline to guide you through each step:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1determineyoureligibility\">1. Determine Your Eligibility<\/h3>\n<p>Start by confirming if you\u2019re eligible for an increased rating. The VA generally requires a change in your condition\u2019s severity since your last evaluation. If you can confidently attest to a worsening or the emergence of new symptoms linked to a service-connected condition, then proceeding with filing for an increase is appropriate.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2fileyourclaim\">2. File Your Claim<\/h3>\n<p>You have several options for officially filing your claim:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Online:<\/strong> This often preferred method lets you apply directly through the VA website, typically via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/disability\/file-disability-claim-form-21-526ez\/introduction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VA.gov portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>By Mail:<\/strong> If paperwork feels more comfortable, download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vba.va.gov\/pubs\/forms\/vba-21-526ez-are.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VA Form 21-526EZ<\/a>, Application for Disability Compensation and Related Compensation Benefits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In-Person:<\/strong> Visit your nearest VA regional office and submit the required form directly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated medical records are essential.
