The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides disability benefits to veterans who have been injured or disabled during their military service. The VA rates disabilities on a scale of 0% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating more severe disabilities. Veterans who disagree with their VA disability rating can file an appeal.
There are several reasons why a veteran might appeal their VA disability rating. For example, the VA may have made an error in calculating the veteran’s disability rating. Or, the veteran’s condition may have worsened since the VA last evaluated it. In some cases, a veteran may simply disagree with the VA’s assessment of the severity of their disability.
