Amid outcry, VA abruptly stops enforcing new disability rating rule
'The rule, which had gone into effect Tuesday without prior notice, was quickly condemned by major veterans groups as effectively lowering a veteran’s disability rating and subsequent monthly compensation. “DAV is extremely disappointed and alarmed by VA’s decision to issue an interim final rule today that could potentially reduce disability compensation for millions of disabled veterans,” said Coleman Nee, national commander of Disabled American Veterans...VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized...Collins also indicated that the VA would not pursue enforcing the rule again.'
