Alcorn County Veterans Service Center

An FYI for all of our Veterans that are getting ready to file or thinking about filing for an increase. The Department of Veterans Affairs has amended 38 CFR 4.10 to clarify how medication affects disability ratings. This amendment states that Veterans should be compensated for their actual level of functional impairment, and the effects of medication should not be discounted when evaluating their disability at the time of examination. This change is significant as it counters a line of court decisions that had previously allowed for higher ratings based on unmedicated conditions. The new rule is effective immediately and aims to ensure that disability evaluations reflect the actual impairment experienced by Veterans, not hypothetical assessments.
