Ale Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 If one develops a condition as a consequence of a procedure one had during service and that one has a VA rating for will that result in an increase of VA rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MikeHunt Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I think there's a typo that limits my understanding of the question. If you had an operation on something (say, sinuses), and a complication of the operation is that you now have headaches, you can file for headaches. If you got a high enough rating for the new headaches disability, of course your total rating would increase. My guess is it's a little more personal than sinuses, since you didn't mention it. Sounds like it would be 'Direct' as opposed to 'Secondary', but that's just academic from your perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we need little more information? Yes it can lead to an increase. but I think you may have to file it as a secondary conditions caused by the first condition...once this new secondary condition is awarded it becomes Service connected with the first condition, you need a Qualified Dr to nexus the two.

0 Gastone Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Who or what makes you think that this New Condition is directly linked to your in-service medical procedure which resulted in a condition now VA SC'd? What %? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
