They wanted to drop him from 90% to 50%. He had seven rated conditions. They only touched two of them. I'm going to tell you which five conditions they didn't dare touch—and why." Everyone knows the VA can't reduce you for missing a leg. That's not growing back. Spoiler alert. But what most veterans DON'T know is there's a handful of conditions—ones you might already have—that the VA finds almost IMPOSSIBLE to reduce. Not because the limb is gone. But because of how the condition works, how it's documented, and what the VA would have to PROVE to take it away. If you have one of these conditions rated... you can sleep a little easier. If you don't have one of these yet but you qualify... you need to file it. And if you're about to go into a review exam thinking "they're going to take everything"... maybe not. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER FIRST: When I say "the VA almost never reduces these," I'm NOT saying it's impossible. I'm NOT saying it's never happened. And I'm definitely NOT saying you can skip your review exam. The VA CAN attempt to reduce anything. They have. They will continue to. What I'm saying is that these five conditions represent a constellation of disabilities that are—statistically, practically, and legally—among the MOST DIFFICULT for the VA to successfully reduce. The burden of proof shifts. The medical evidence works in your favor. And the nature of these conditions makes "sustained improvement" almost impossible to demonstrate. ABOUT DR.
