Episode 61: What to Do When VA Proposes to Reduce Your Disability Rating

VA has the ability to reduce disability ratings to ensure that each veteran is being compensated for their current level of disability. If VA thinks a veteran’s condition will improve over time when initially rating them, they will schedule a re-evaluation of the veteran’s condition during which they may potentially reduce their disability rating. Tune in to catch the CCK team as we discuss what veterans can do when VA proposes to reduce their disability rating. We will explain what triggers a rating reduction, the rules VA has to follow, and how you can fight a proposed rating reduction. We will also discuss which types of ratings are protected from VA reductions.
