Statements of Principles are the medical guidelines used to decide if a veteran's illness or injury is connected to their military service.\n\n**Who it affects:** Veterans claiming compensation for frozen shoulder, and the decision-makers who assess those claims.\n\n**Why it matters:** By deleting the definition of diabetes mellitus, this change affects how the Repatriation Commission considers whether diabetes played a role in causing or worsening a veteran's frozen shoulder. This could influence whether a claim is accepted or how the condition is assessed medically."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-28-of-2002","history":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-28-of-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-28-of-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-28-of-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-28-of-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-28-of-2002/documents"}}
