VA Benefits - Rating Protections and Proposed Reductions [29]

VA disability rating protections explained - the 5-year, 10-year, and 20-year rules that shield your rating from reduction. Covers what triggers a proposed reduction (reexaminations, new evidence, CUE), sustained improvement standard (38 CFR 3.344), service connection protection after 10 years (38 USC 1159), the 20-year lock (38 CFR 3.951), static condition designations (38 CFR 3.327), 100% total disability protections (38 CFR 3.343), and how to respond using the 60-day window and predetermination hearing (38 CFR 3.105). Watch the next video: VA Benefits 1.30 - Permanent and Total Disability. Part of the Professor Erica VA Benefits playlist - verify all information at VA.gov or with a VSO.
