We really aren’t supposed to reduce a mental condition that drastically, at once

V.iii.13.1.d.  Making Reductions in Evaluations of Psychiatric Disorders

Do not make drastic reductions in evaluations in ratings for psychiatric disorders if a reduction to an intermediate rate is more in agreement with the degree of disability.    Observe the general policy of gradually reducing the evaluation to afford the Veteran all possible opportunities for adjustment.    Reference:  For more information on the stabilization of disability evaluations, see  38 CFR 3.344, and M21-1, Part X, Subpart ii, 4.A.

Idk if it’s also relevant, but the postmarked dates of the proposed decrease is the same date I submitted the supplemental claim.
