To amend title 38, United States Code, to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs schedule for rating disabilities, and for other purposes

**Who it affects:** Military veterans who have disabilities connected to their service, as well as veterans who may apply for disability benefits in the future. **What would change:** Veterans could see changes in their disability ratings and monthly compensation amounts. The current rating system uses outdated medical criteria, so updates could result in more accurate assessments that better reflect how conditions actually impact veterans' daily lives and ability to work. **Current status:** The bill is in committee, meaning Congress is still reviewing and potentially modifying it before any vote. The specific changes aren't detailed in this summary, as the full bill text would contain the technical modifications to the rating schedule.
