Skin Claims Win: Capture an Active Flare and Upload Proof Today
Your skin rating lives or dies on proof from an active flare—lock it in today. Take clear, well‑lit, date‑stamped photos of each affected area with a size reference (coin/ruler), and write a two‑line note: location, symptoms (itching, pain), duration, and meds used. Name files “Skin Flare Photos 2025‑10‑11” and upload on VA.gov to your claim as additional evidence. Then call or secure‑message your VA clinic for a same‑day note documenting “active flare.” That contemporaneous record often makes the rating.
