Carlton H. Ingram Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act
Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Summary
The bill changes the federal law that governs how the VA rates veterans’ service‑connected disabilities. It requires the rating schedule to ignore the benefits of medication or treatment when establishing a baseline level of impairment, but still allows veterans to be compensated for new or worsened conditions caused by that treatment. The change aims to make disability ratings more accurate.
