Review the disability rating schedule for savings

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 20, p. 650. Written by Brooks D. Tucker.

Review the disability rating schedule for savings

The document says “shouldWho acts: VA, OMBHow: regulationp. 650 in the PDF
What the document says

“The next Administration should explore how VASRD reviews could be accelerated with clearance from OMB to target significant cost savings from revising disability rating awards”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 650

The Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities determines what percentage disability, and therefore what payment, a condition attracts. The chapter says the revision would target savings from future claimants while preserving awards fully or partially for existing claimants.

What the document actually says

“The next Administration should explore how VASRD reviews could be accelerated with clearance from OMB to target significant cost savings from revising disability rating awards”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 650
That sentence, in plain words

Speed up the review of how disabilities are rated. Aim to save money on future claims.

What this is about

A schedule sets how much each injury pays. The book wants it reviewed faster. It says future claims could pay less. People already receiving it would be protected.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
