Skin Claim Win: Take Date‑Stamped Flare Photos with Scale and Upload Today

Skin ratings are won with photos—capture the flare, not the good day. Today, take clear, well‑lit, date‑stamped photos of every affected area (front/back/sides) with a ruler or coin for scale, then upload them to your claim on VA.gov as Supporting Evidence. Label each file with location and date, and include a one‑paragraph note estimating percent of body/exposed area involved and listing current treatments (topicals, steroids, biologics). This locks in severity the examiner might miss if your skin is calm on exam day.
