| Title: Criteria for a Catastrophically Disabled Determination of Deafness for Purposes of Enrollment | |
|
Abstract:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to make technical amendments to its medical regulations by adding deafness as a disability that VA would consider a catastrophic disability for purposes of enrollment in VA health care. We would also rescind a medical regulation that deals with VA providing a veteran devices to assist in overcoming deafness because the regulation is outdated and no longer reflects current VA policy. |
