The Carlton H. Ingram Veterans’ Benefits Protection Act aims to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs schedule for rating disabilities.
The Carlton H. Ingram Veterans’ Benefits Protection Act seeks to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs schedule for rating disabilities. It ensures that veterans can seek compensation for additional disabilities resulting from medication or treatment for an underlying injury or disease contracted in the line of duty. The act also mandates that the schedule of ratings discount the beneficial effects of medication or treatment when evidence can establish a baseline without those effects. This aims to provide a more accurate assessment of veterans' disabilities.
