I put in for an increase for a few of my disabilities and I’m rated at 90 percent can they lower my benefits

Hi William, Unfortunately, anytime you reopen your claim and they send you for an exam you do run a risk of them lowering your percentage.  However, if you feel the disabilities have worsened then you should absolutely put in for an increase.  You can review the symptoms that put you in a higher percentage to see if you meet the criteria for higher.  This would be listed on your last rating decision, or if you want to email me what injuries you are looking for an increase I can help you find what would give you a higher percentage.  Additionally, if  you are at 90% and your disabilities are affecting your ability to work, you can put in a request to be paid at 100% due to unemployability.   Hope that is helpful! ~Amanda...
