Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument makes a narrow technical change to the Repatriation Medical Authority’s Statement of Principles for congenital cataract by removing the definition of “diabetes mellitus.” It affects veterans seeking disability pension links between congenital cataract and service, because diabetes will no longer be defined within that rule and may be treated differently (or not at all) in assessing service connection. The amendment applies to existing and future claims.
