If you believe your disability rating should be higher, you can submit an appeal to the VA, which will be reviewed to determine whether you qualify for more disability. Supplemental claims require new evidence and documentation of a disability for which you previously applied and must be submitted within a year of the date you received the initial decision letter.
You can also request a higher-level review claim if you continue to disagree with the VA’s decision. A senior reviewer will look at the facts of your case and determine whether to change your disability rating.
A board appeal goes before a veterans law judge at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. The judge will review your case and decide whether to grant a higher disability rating based on the appeal documentation. It can be helpful to consult a veterans advocate or attorney to help you navigate the appeals process.
