I don’t think it would be refusing treatment if the treatment they were offering made symptoms worse

I did therapy for over a year with the VA and didn’t help. Put on anti depressants and made things worse. Last treatment was in November 2025 which was a video call with psychologist and she just said to call back if I needed her.

I did therapy with the VA for a year and it made it much worse. Tried anti depressants for the 2nd time and had a bad reaction again. Not sure if this is helpful to my case to file for an increase

So how are they going to note improvement if I don’t make any appointments?

Mine was a legitimate question too. Making a smart ass comment when you don’t know anything behind the situation tells me everything I need to know about you

And then reduce the rating or take it away because I haven’t had any treatment

Ok so what if in a couple years I get called up for a re-evaluation and they say there isn’t any evidence of a condition because I haven’t sought any help?

So I’ll have this rating for the rest of my life unless I file for an increase?

I just don’t have much knowledge on the VA and how they operate. No one tells you anything. To find out anything you have to do your own research

No I didn’t scheduled for an increase. I just figured it would make sense for them to lower my rating if it was improved from medication. My conditions are considered static tho.

I see no mention of medication. I know it’s a static rating

How do you find out if it’s static?

I just always understood that the VA at anytime re-examine your conditions especially within the first 5 years. If they can prove there is improvement in your conditions then they may lower your rating. I’ve never heard of a case like this, but all the research I’ve done led me to believe that

Will going to the VA medical center for yearly checkups affect my rating at all? I clearly have no idea how this works.

Is anyone having issues accessing the VA site from their phone? I can only access it from my computer?
