Carlton H. Ingram Veterans’ Benefits Protection 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 be built so that it does not count the helpful effects of medication or treatment when evidence can show what the veteran's condition would be 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 a worsened preexisting condition.
