Title: Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Primary Amyloidosis (AL Amyloidosis) 
Abstract: This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Schedule for Rating Disabilities (rating schedule) by updating the list of disease conditions of the Hemic and Lymphatic System (38 CFR 4.117) to include primary amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis). This regulatory action is necessary to include AL amyloidosis as one of the disease conditions in section 4.117 and establish criteria for disability evaluation to fully implement the decision by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs granting presumptive service connection for this disease. The intended effect is to provide consistency in disability rating and ease of tracking AL amyloidosis for statistical analysis.
