Title: Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Mental Disorders 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends the portion of the rating schedule dealing with mental disorders, including revising the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders and removing the separate General Rating Formula for Eating Disorders in the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD or rating schedule). The final rule reflects changes made by the American Psychological Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5), advances in medical knowledge, and recommendations from VA’s Mental Disorders Work Group.
