A1: If you're present rated disabilities have gotten worse since first rated, YES - but YOU need to take action - no one else can do it. All you need to do is sign in to your va.gov account (which you should have) and file a claim; reopening all rated disabilities AND adding any new disabilities you believe should be rated. Good Luck.

A2: Just request an increase in your other disabilities by stating that they've gotten worse. Since they are already SC, they'll order new C&P's. You can also request A&A or housebound. The pay for 100% or TDIU is the same. (RH) 11/25/20
A3: To really give you good advice to get upgraded from 80% with 20% iU, I would need to know what your 80% disabilities are in order to file a claim for upgrade to 100% permanent and total disability. (GR) 11/25/20
