Yes. You can appeal the rating assigned to a service-connected condition without jeopardizing your service connection. When you file an appeal specifically challenging the rating level, the existing service connection is not reopened or subject to cancellation. You may request a higher-level review, asking a senior examiner to reassess the rating, file a supplemental claim with new medical evidence showing greater severity, or appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. Our attorneys can evaluate which pathway is most appropriate based on your situation and the specific reasons the VA gave for the current rating.
