How to Increase Your VA Disability Rating from 90% to 100%
Were you recently given a VA disability rating of 90 percent? Many Veterans are unaware of how much of a difference being rated at 100 percent actually makes. In fact, it can be quite beneficial. In this article, we’ll tell you how to go from 90 to 100 VA Disability Rating.
What To Do If You Have a 90% Disability RatingÂ
In some cases, the VA may decide to increase your 90 percent disability rating without your request. However, this is unlikely.
If you believe you were underrated, rated unfairly, or your conditions have worsened, this may warrant a higher disability rating than the one you were assigned. You can decide to either file a claim for an increased rating or file an appeal.Â
You may be wondering, “what’s the difference between a 90% and 100% percent rating?” Well, you’ll be surprised to know that it’s a little over $1,200 more a month, which for most Veterans is a big difference for them and their families.
3 Beneficial Tips for Increasing Your RatingÂ
