Title: Schedule for Rating Disabilities: The Genitourinary Diseases and Conditions | |
Abstract:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend the portion of the Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) that addresses the genitourinary system. The purpose of this change is to update current medical terminology, incorporate medical advances that have occurred since the last review, and provide well-defined criteria in accordance with actual, standard medical clinical practice. The proposed rule reflects the most up-to-date medical knowledge and clinical practice of nephrology and urology specialties, as well as comments from subject matter experts and the public garnered during a public forum held January 27-28, 2011. |
