The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the

The purpose of the Committee is to advise the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs on the maintenance and periodic readjustment of the VA Schedule
for Rating Disabilities. The Committee is to assemble and review
relevant information relating to the nature and character of
disabilities arising during service in the Armed Forces, provide an
ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of the rating schedule, and
give advice on the most appropriate means of responding to the needs of
Veterans relating to disability compensation.
The agenda will include overview briefings on the VA Schedule for
Rating Disabilities, the transition process for retiring and separating
Reserve and National Guard members, and Individual Unemployability.
Time will be allotted for receiving public comments. Public comments
will be limited to three minutes each. Individuals wishing to make oral

first-served basis. Individuals who speak are invited to submit 1-2-

The public may submit written statements for the Committee's review
to Janice Stewart, Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Benefits
Administration, Compensation Service, Implementation Staff (211B), 810
Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420 or email at

government building, a photo I.D. must be presented at the Guard's Desk

protocols, you should allow an additional 30 minutes before the meeting
begins. Routine escort will be provided until 8 a.m. each day. Any

additional information should email Janice Stewart or call her at (202)
