Summary

The Carlton H. Ingram Veterans’ Benefits Protection Act changes how the VA rates service‑connected disabilities. It tells the rating schedule to discount the positive impact of medication or treatment when a baseline can be shown, but it still allows veterans to seek compensation for any new or worsened conditions caused by that treatment. The goal is to make disability ratings reflect the true severity of the underlying injury.
