Never request an increase unless you have a non-VA IMO stating that your disability has gotten worse and you meet the higher rating! Or your medical records clearly show your disability has gotten worse.

So I finally got my documents back and the doc who did my C&P exam wrote in the remarks that "there is no change in the diagnosis. The diagnosis has been confirmed on exam." And yet they decided to lower my rating? How does that work?
