My summary:
Yes, the VA can reduce your rating if your conditions improved. However, there are protections at 5 year, 10 years, and 20 years which help shield you. If your rating is temporary, the VA can reduce you rather easily, but if you are over 5 years or P and T, then its tough for VA to reduce you.
When ever you seek an increase is "NOT" one of the reasons VA can use to reduce you. Seeking an increase is independent of a rating reduction. Whether or not you improved, and whether or not your rating is protected is relevant, but seeking an increase is not relevant to reductions. If you think you deserve an increase, by all means apply.
