Can I receive additional disability benefits if I get a lower rating?

Yes, you can receive additional disability benefits if you get a lower rating. In Florida, veterans can be eligible for a higher rating if they are able to demonstrate that their condition has worsened since the initial determination of their disability rating. If you are able to show that your condition has worsened, the VA may increase your rating. There are a few other ways to receive additional disability benefits if you get a lower rating. First, you may be entitled to a retroactive payment if the VA reduces your rating. The VA may also provide you with additional benefits if you are able to show that you were disabled before the original rating was issued. Lastly, if you have a service-connected disability, you may be entitled to Special Monthly Compensation, regardless of your rating. It is important to note that if you receive a lower rating, you will generally not be entitled to any future compensation. However, depending on your specific situation, it may be possible to appeal the decision and receive additional disability benefits. If you believe you are eligible for additional benefits, it is important to contact the VA and discuss your options.
