What is the VA Disability 55 Year Old Rule?

At the time this video was published, all information was accurate but is subject to change as laws, policies, and regulations change. In this video, we’re going to explore the 55 year old rule for VA disability. The VA 55 year rule states that veterans are protected from VA rating reductions if they are over the age of 55. But did you know the VA can always change your VA disability benefits through a reevaluation? Truth bomb. The VA always reserves the right to conduct a reexamination to determine if your disability has improved, worsened, or stayed the same. **Video Timestamps** ⏩ 00:00 Brian Reese VA Claims Insider Introduction ⏩ 00:34 When Can the VA Reevalute My Disability Rating? ⏩ 01:15 What is the VA 55 Year Rule? ⏩ 01:45 VA 55 Year Old Rule Example: Protected VA Rating ⏩ 03:45 Am I Protected from a VA Rating Reduction at 55 Years of Age or Older? ⏩ 04:03 What are the Exceptions to the 55 Year Rule for VA Disability? ⏩ 05:22 Tired of Fighting the VA Alone? WE CAN HELP! Am I Protected From a VA Rating Reducation at Age 55? Yes, you are protected from a VA rating reduction if you are 55 years or older. Why? Because the VA 55 year rule means that veterans are “protected” from VA rating reductions if they are over the age of 55. Pro Tip: Note there are 3 important exceptions to the VA disability 55 year rule: Fraud: The original rating can be eliminated after 10 years if the VA determines that the original disability rating was based on fraud. Permanent and Total VA Ratings: Veterans who have been granted a Permanent and Total (P&T) Rating are exempt from the VA disability 10 year rule. The P&T rating signifies that the service-connected disability won’t improve and can’t be eliminated. Disability Conditions Not Expected to Improve: Veterans with service-connected disabilities that are deemed permanent and not expected to improve are also exempt from the 55 year old rule. These conditions are typically characterized by their permanent nature, such as the loss of a limb or a chronic, progressive illness. 📱 Schedule your Discovery Call right now!
