When can the VA reduce my rating "again" after reduction?

[jayodizzle]

Good morning my fellow veterans, I hope that you may answer this humble request for advice with my particular reduction of rate.

You see, I have been diagnosed with Asthma induced from my OIF/OEF deployments before which included backpains, eczema, fatigue. etc... well, they gave me 100% (though it says P&T also) but now reduced my rating upon seeing improvement of my asthma. Technically, they terminated my whole asthma rating which  now I could only receive an overall 40% from my other symptoms which where before "does not need further evaluation" I held the 100% for 4 years but this last one the 3rd examination, my asthma was deemed improved- so called for the reduction of my rate which was kind of sad because from 2900$ now I receive 587$. So if I may ask,

If I was reduced from my 100% rating to 40%... When can they reduce my rating AGAIN? or would they reduce my rating again in the future time after they gave me this 40%?

 

Thank you very much.

You folks know who is doing this? There was a mandate that came down from DC, period.

you could NOD this and fight them over your reduction   with a private specialist opinion.

However if he/she finds improvement  then your basically stuck with the reduction  and I know that has to hurt your pocket book going from 100% back to 40% ouch...but if your working as an EMT and your young....and you get to keep your 40%..if your asthma acts up again later on refile for increase.

 

Note to all you veterans out there with a S.C. disability rating

Always keep going and getting treatment private or VA  b/c the VA does check your medical files from time to time  and if they see what the Dr's write and you have shown an improvement in your SC Disability...that  promps a Proposal to Reduce by way of improvement.

It would not surprise me. Would love to get a copy of the mandate and pass it along to the news outlets.... That would be Pulitzer material.
