Tinea versicolor % increase?

Rate this question

Question

I’m currently rated at 10% for tinea versicolor, but I’m wondering if I should try for an increase. The criteria for an increase to 30% is that the affected area covers 20% of the body or I take medication for >6 weeks per year. Currently I take medication to control my rash, but only 2x per year lasting only a week or 2 each time. If I don’t take medication the rash will continue to spread and eventually cover my entire back and chest. Since I don’t meet the medication criteria would it be shitty to let it spread for an increase?  It would bump me from 50% to 60% overall. Thanks.

My suggestion is to ask for an increase.  I cant specifically answer for this  condition, but, when you get your hearing tested, your rating is based WITHOUT hearing aids.  

Ditto for other conditions.  They cant reduce you just because you take meds and control it.  Think diabetes and high blood pressure.
