Change is disablity on medical
 
You report a new medical issue and doctor visit on your last medical, do physical therapy take no medications for it and are granted second class. You also have been reporting you get VA disability for a different medical issue
The new medical issue you reported is 0 percent but service connected. You get a re-evalution fom the VA after your flight physical and they change the new medical issue you reported on your last FAA physical from 0 percent to 10

So what do you put on your upcoming medical ? Increase in disability percent ? You already reported the medical issue on the previous medical and you also reported you get VA disability. Is there anything you are required to list in addition to what you already reported ?

Thanks

Unless there is a different block to check between NON-compensable and compensable disability - it seems to be a 'Previously Reported' condition, but a call to CAMI might be in order.

If the change was administrative, ie VA re-evaluation of an unchanged condition then I wouldn't consider that a change in your condition and wouldn't bother the FAA with it.

If the condition itself changed, then you need to report that on the medical form.

The FAA cares about your actual physical condition, not how the VA administratively categorizes you.
