Important Update for Veterans and Supporters
https://americanveteransmission.org/va-disability-ratings-rule-rescinded/
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) formally rescinded the interim final rule titled Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication. That rule, published on February 17, would have changed how disability ratings are calculated by factoring in medication effects. The rescission restores the prior standard and becomes effective immediately when published in the Federal Register on February 27, 2026.
We want to thank every veteran, advocate, Veterans Service Organization (VSO), and concerned citizen who voiced their support for protecting earned benefits and ensuring fair treatment for our nation’s veterans. Your engagement made a difference.
We will continue to follow this issue closely and share any updates that affect veterans and their families.
