How Medical Evidence Can Help Increase Your Rating

Medical evidence is the key to winning almost every aspect of your VA disability claim. This is especially true when you are looking to increase your rating. You’ve already overcome the hurdle associated with service connection but what do you do when you want your rating higher? To get a higher rating the symptoms of your condition need to be such as to warrant an increase under the VA regulations. The VA essentially will look at the type of disability you have and then look in the Code of Federal Regulations for that particular type of disability and then proceed with measuring your symptoms against those set forth in the regulations. Strong medical evidence can assist by capturing and measuring your symptoms against the regulations. Moreover, strong medical evidence can also assist in explaining why your condition may be worsening, which is a necessary aspect to development of a strong claim for VA disability increase.
