question Does improving mental health mean a lower VA disability rating?

[BreezyBird]

Why do people say "you never get better"? I'm on the highest dose of Zoloft and starting to feel normal again. Does this mean they might reduce my rating?

Feeling better and having fewer symptoms might lead to a review, but it's unlikely your rating would be completely removed, especially if you need to stay on medication to maintain that improvement.

No, an improvement in symptoms doesn't mean your rating will be lowered. Managing symptoms isn't the same as curing them. In fact, ongoing treatment supports your claim by demonstrating continuity of care.
