About Us

Welcome to Increase my VA Rating

Increase my VA Rating is a veteran-owned and operated consulting service dedicated to helping veterans better navigate the VA disability claims process. Founded by Rick Tobin, a U.S. Army veteran, the mission is simple: to ensure that veterans receive the benefits they’ve earned through clear, personalized, and affordable guidance.


Rick’s journey began when he enlisted in the Army Reserves as a high school senior. In 2003, he deployed to Iraq during the initial invasion, where he was awarded the Combat Action Badge. In 2006, he transitioned to Active Duty, returning to Iraq in 2008 as part of the surge. In 2010, Rick was selected for recruiting duty, a role he would serve in for the next decade, culminating his career as a First Sergeant.

Veteran-Centric VA Claim Assistance Services

That background of service, leadership, and sacrifice is what drives Increase my VA Rating today. Rick understands firsthand the challenges veterans face both in uniform and after service and he knows how overwhelming the VA process can be. His goal is to bring the same discipline, integrity, and commitment to excellence that defined his Army career to helping fellow veterans prepare and strengthen their claims.

At Increase my VA Rating, you won’t deal with a call center or a large staff. You’ll work one-on-one with Rick, who combines lived experience as a 100% Permanent & Total veteran with years of knowledge navigating the VA system. This means you get not only guidance, but also understanding from someone who has stood in your boots.

We believe in fair, transparent, and affordable pricing a one-time flat fee with no hidden costs. With Rick’s experience, precision, and dedication, our mission is to empower veterans with the knowledge and support they need to confidently pursue the benefits they deserve.
