The VA 5 year rule is a rule that states that the VA can't reduce a veteran's disability that's been in place for five years, unless the condition improved overtime on a sustained basis.
The veteran will likely need to present medical evidence to prove the material improvement of their condition.
The VA disability 10-year rule states that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) cannot eliminate a disability rating that has been in place for at least 10 years unless there is evidence of fraud.
This 10-year period is calculated from the effective date of VA's original grant for service connection.
