Abstract
This document amends that portion of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Schedule for Rating Disabilities that addresses the Respiratory System. The intended effect of this action is to update the respiratory portion of the rating schedule to ensure that it uses current medical terminology and unambiguous criteria, and that it reflects medical advances which have occurred since the last review.
