12.3. Rating Reductions
There are circumstances where the VA can reduce your disability benefits. When the VA proposes to reduce a Veteran's disability compensation, it is of the upmost importance that the Veteran act quickly by seeking the services of either an aggressive Veterans Service Organization or an Attorney accredited by the VA. The law is very clear that to assist a Veteran in the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of a claim for VA benefits, the individual must be accredited by the VA as an agent, attorney, or representative of a Veterans Service Organization, VSO, 38 U.S.C. §§ 5901-5902, 5904; 38 C.F.R. § 14.629. There is a onetime only exception for a non-accredited individual to assist a Veteran in processing a claim under 38 C.F.R. § 14.630.
To verify the VA accreditation of an Attorney, Claims Agent, or VSO Representative, go to website: http://www.va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation/
Some of the most common reasons for the reduction of you VA disability Compensation are:
I. Failure to Report for the "Pre-Reduction" Examination.
II. Unprotected Benefit Rating and Your Condition Improves

Yes, it is more to a reduction that a veteran can do but the VA can just deny the claim base on failure to report to an examination.

Veterans over the age of 55 can be reexamined. I found this out to be very interesting that we are told that when a veteran hit 55, the veteran can no longer be reexamined but this seems to be a littl
