What Happens If Your VA Disability Gets Better?

Can the VA Reduce Your Disability Rating? Understanding Reevaluations and Reductions

In this episode, we explore whether the VA can reduce your disability rating if your condition improves. We discuss the categorization of disabilities as either static or subject to reevaluation, how temporary 100% ratings work during recovery from surgery, and how surgeries can affect your overall rating. We cover the process the VA follows for proposing reductions and the steps you can take to appeal if you disagree. We also touch on the emotional aspect of fearing reevaluation and offer assistance with appeals for those in need. Visit The Vocal Veteran for more information and support.
