Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument removes the specific legal definition of "diabetes mellitus" from the Statement of Principles for acquired cataract. That change alters how cataract claims involving diabetes are assessed — either by shifting the definition to a central medical dictionary or by relying on the ordinary medical meaning — and therefore affects veterans and dependents seeking compensation under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986.
