Abstract

Military veterans and disability rights have been in the news recently as the Department of Veterans Affairs issued — and then halted enforcement of — a new rule that required VA examiners to determine a veteran's disability level based on how well they function while on medication for an injury or illness. Previously, examiners were required to consider a veteran's disability rating based on what the condition or injury would look like without medication.
