Carlton H. Ingram Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act

This bill changes the federal law that sets up the Department of Veterans Affairs schedule for rating veterans' disabilities. It would require the rating schedule to discount the beneficial effects of medication or treatment when evidence can establish a baseline of the condition without those effects. The bill also states that this rule does not stop a veteran from seeking compensation for additional disabilities caused by medication or treatment for a service-connected injury or disease, or for the worsening of a preexisting service-connected condition.
