10 and 20 year mark - VA Protections, How does the 10 year and 20 year rule work?

10 Year Rule for VA
The 10-year rule functions a bit differently than the other rules. In this case, the VA cannot eliminate a rating that’s been in place for ten years or more. However, they can reduce the rating if they have medical evidence that the medical condition improves. As with the 20-year rule, there is an exception to this rule if the VA finds out that the original disability rating was based on fraud.

The 20 Year Rule For VA Disability Ratings
If a service-connected VA disability has been continuously rated at or above a certain rating percentage for 20 years or more, the VA is prohibited from reducing the rating below that level. The only exception for this rule is if the VA discovers that the rating was based on fraud.
