Lawsuit over 38CFR 4.10 medication

[Ray Davis jr]

A Vietnam veteran who has appealed his Department of Veterans Affairs
disability rating has asked the courts to review a VA rule published
Tuesday that requires medical examiners to factor in the effects of
medication on a service-connected condition when determining a
veteran’s disability rating.

Andrew Laffon has joined forces with several law firms to petition the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to review the
regulation, which was issued Tuesday as an “interim final rule” and
immediately went into effect.

The rule clarified VA regulations on considering medical management of
health conditions when determining a veteran’s disability rating. It
was written in response to court decisions dating to 2012 that limited
the consideration of medication’s effects by the VA’s claims
adjudications board.
