2900-AP88 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2900 Department of Veterans Affairs VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Musculoskeletal System and Muscle Injuries

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to revise the regulations that involve the Musculoskeletal System within the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD or Rating Schedule). VA will rename certain diagnostic codes, revise rating criteria, give new rating guidance, add new codes, and remove obsolete codes. These revisions will incorporate medical terminology more recent than the last comprehensive review, as well as simplify the rating process.
