RUREADY Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just a word of suggestion.. Any time you file for an increase in rating you make sure You are going to the doctor more than you was. Simple answer but true. Don't ask if you go to a doctor once a year you might get a proposal to reduce. After reading decision on reduction and how they look at this. have your a** covered through VA or private doctors. I am beginning tothink a private doctor may be the best. Some VA doctor will lie about things don't put things in your records that mean a lot to you. Its a better way just be smart I don't like to c anyone reduce of anything.

0 USMC_VET Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 ive learned that as well. and no i "provider message" any time i have a SC related issue such as last night going to ER to get shots in my back. I threw it out. could barely get out of bed to pee. I then finished peeing reached intot he medicine cabinet to get some aleve and then woke up on the floor after passing otu from the pain of getting up. I go to my private docs once every few months to "opine" on the condition,whether same or worse jsut so i ahve at least 6+ visits a year to back up any increases in the future. granted i ahve good insurance at the moment so it only costs me $25 per visit so a total of $300 a year for these visits. I also use the "medical events" journal on myhealthevet (thanks for the advice from a hadit poster) and record every time i have a issue with any SC that i have or know i will claim in the future as it gets worse.

While it is most likely the most effective way to get an increase, there a cases where increases are still granted with little to no docter visits. Perhaps this varies upon types of disabilities in qu
