Episode 73: 4 Ways to Increase Your VA Disability Rating

Join the CCK team as we discuss four ways to increase VA disability ratings. After a veteran submits an initial claim, VA assigns a disability rating based on the severity of their service-connected medical condition. Having a higher disability rating will lead to a greater amount of monthly benefits. So, when a condition worsens and new evidence reveals that more compensation is needed, a veteran can file an appeal or a new claim to increase their rating. In today’s episode, we will review four different routes veterans can take to increase their ratings and what is needed to qualify.
