What To Do With Increasing Disablitiy

[bigoc]

I am rated for arthritis.  My doctor has prescribed several different disease modifying drugs over the past year.  And I need to contact the VA to try to increase my rating.  

How would I do this and what supporting documentation is helpful for doing this?

Thanks for the help

Big: If you are already rated for this condition with those meds my research indicates that you should have at least a 60% rating for those drugs you are taking. I don't have the ratings code but its on Hadit somewhere. Use the search engine and ask specific questions. Good Luck

Thats about what I figured for the psoriasis.  Thanks for the support.

21-4138 Statement In Support of Claim, a fillable PDF file, you can print out and send to your VA Regional Office.

Go to the VA.gov website, look under the "forms" button, and go from there.

Once you have filled out a VONAPPS on line or have sent in an original claim (#526) then you do not have to fill out a "complete claim" ever again. Just a "simple" Statement In Support Of is all you need to file a new claim, thereby saving you AND the VA all the extra B.S.

I'd send in whatever info I had to support your claim, just staple it to your 21-4138.

AGREED...THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE.
