This amendment deletes the specific definition of diabetes from the 1999 Statement of Principles covering shoulder conditions.\n\n**Why this matters:**\n- If you are a veteran claiming compensation for a frozen shoulder, this change affects how the Department of Veterans' Affairs assesses the medical links between diabetes and your shoulder condition\n- Removing this definition alters the evidentiary requirements for proving that a shoulder injury is related to military service\n- The change applies to all existing and future claims covered by the original 1999 rules"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-29-of-2002","history":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-29-of-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-29-of-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-29-of-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-29-of-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-adhesive-capsulitis-of-the-shoulder-no-29-of-2002/documents"}}
