How does VA rating change

[Ale]

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?

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.

 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. ( in detail.)

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 %?
