What type of claim addresses disagreement with a previous decision?

A supplemental claim is specifically designed for situations where a claimant disagrees with a previous decision made by the VA regarding their benefits. This type of claim allows the veteran to provide new and relevant evidence that was not available or considered during the initial claim process, which can potentially lead to a different outcome. It serves as a way for individuals to challenge prior determinations by presenting further documentation or information that might influence the VA's decision.

Initial claims are the first submissions for benefits and are not meant to contest previous decisions. Non-original claims, while they might suggest a similar concept, do not have the direct intent of challenging a prior decision. Increase claims refer to requests to raise the level of benefits based on worsening conditions rather than disputing a past verdict. Therefore, the supplemental claim is the most appropriate choice for addressing a disagreement with a prior decision.
