The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is in the process of completely updating the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities, commonly referred to as the 'VASRD' or 'Rating Schedule,' for the first time since 1945. The latest rating schedule related to skin went into effect Monday, Aug. 13, 2018. No conditions were removed from the new rating schedule for skin conditions. However, several diagnostic codes assigned to various skin conditions were restructured or revised as VA aims to have the rating schedule better reflect modern medicine. The complete list of updates to the rating schedule for skin conditions is available on the VA website. For more on disability compensation, visit the Military.com Disability Compensation page.
