Review the disability rating schedule for savings
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”
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”
Speed up the review of how disabilities are rated. Aim to save money on future claims.
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.
