RIN 2900-AE11

 

Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Genitourinary System 
Disabilities; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the regulations of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that govern the Schedule for Rating 
Disabilities of the genitourinary system. This correction is required 
to amend a percentage evaluation in the regulation. No substantive 
change to the content of the regulations is being made by this 
correcting amendment.

1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Roberts, Regulations Staff, 
Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans Benefits Administration, 
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 
20420, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA published a final rule in the Federal 
Register on January 18, 1994 (See 59 FR 2523-29) to implement changes 
to the genitourinary section of the rating schedule. However, a 
percentage evaluation was inadvertantly assigned to a diagnostic code 
(diagnostic code 7501, kidney, abscess of) where no percentage 
evaluation was appropriate. This document corrects that error.
