agesilaus Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I just went thru the process to get my VA Disability rating upgraded from 20% to 50 or 60%. Not sure yet but the dropped almost $3000 in our account. Went to the DAV rep at the local VA hospital and got the forms filled out. Back in Nov 23, they pay back to the date you started the process. Learned about this at an Escapde, suggest you contact the DAV rep and talk to them. I wish I'd done it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan853 Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 I would be very interested to hear about how you did this upgrade. I'm former USAF (1975-1981) and also have a 20% disability rating. 10% each for hearing loss, too much time spent around F-4's, F-15's as well as a lot of hours riding around in the belly of C-130's, and a back injury suffered in an accident while on duty driving a government vehicle downtown in a foreign country as part of my daily duties.

lenp Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Does your county have a Veteran Service Officer? They work for you, not the VA and should be able to assist you. If no county service officer look up your nearest DAV and see if they can suggest an alternative. It took me a few years of appeals to get where I am today so don't give up.
