0 Kgosi Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I have never heard it referred to as the Ratings Control Department, but the process is the same across the nation. When a Vet submits a claim for increase and there is sufficient evidence on file to grant then it is sent to a rater. If there is not sufficient evidence to grant or deny outright, then an exam is scheduled for the Vet. The examining physician/psychologist/psychiatrist will then exam the Vet and fill out the appropriate medical documents and send it back to be rated. The rater follows a specific checklist against the medical report and assigns a percentage rating. That rating may be higher, lower, or remain the same dependent upon the results of the exam. Note that this is for increases only and there are some exceptions for various disabilities, and how long you have had a specific rating. willidx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
