The rule, entitled "Schedule for Rating Disabilities—Ear, Nose, Throat, and Audiology Disabilities; Special Provisions Regarding Evaluation of Respiratory Conditions; Respiratory System," is currently contained within the comprehensive bill package called the Take Care of America's Veterans Act (TCAVA) that was introduced last week and includes more than 60 veterans' bills, such as the Major Richard Star Act, the Love Lives On Act, caregiver reforms, VA modernization initiatives, combat-injured veteran expansions, more support for military spouses and more.
