Can senior rater decrease what he originally put on it, if he already signed?

I want to make stronger case for myself, but don't want to backfire and senior rater changes bullet points or the current score I have because rater is insulted by me challenging one bullet point and score. Thoughts?

Do you have anything to support the increase in rating other than feeling that you deserve it? Unless you have documentation to support it, I do not see that you can challenge what the rater has given you, it is their rating of performance.

Quantifiable, tangible facts, numbers, statements of accolade from non invested seniors, numbers that show what you personally did, planned, accomplished was above the standard, better then peers or an established norm. There are all some things that speak for them selves,. if you have them and they were not mentioned or included in your NCOER you could ask your rater to consider them in thier assessment and bulleted comments

If the NCOER has been processed you can do little.
If it has not yet been signed by you the rated individual, or at worst, not yet sent forward you can ask for a sit down with your rater

The report is not final until it is fully signed and posted. Judging by the bullets you posted below, I would say that your Sr Rater feels you are a solid performer but thinks you should complete ALC and have more TIG before selection to SSG. As such, a 2/3 box check is appropriate.
What leads you to think that he was insulted and changed the rating as a result?
