Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This technical amendment to the medical rules removes the definition of "diabetes mellitus" from the 1998 Statement of Principles for renal artery atherosclerotic disease. It changes how diabetes is referenced (or whether it is treated as a specific factor) in determining service connection for this kidney artery condition. The change affects veterans claiming this disease and the Department of Veterans' Affairs decision-makers and applies to current and future claims.
