Abstract
This document amends Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations to replace gender-specific language with gender-neutral language. The amendments are necessary to conform the adjudication regulations with the VA policy that all of its publications will be stated in a manner that does not seem to preclude benefits for female veterans, dependents or beneficiaries.
