Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes its adjudication regulations relating to aggravation of service-connected disabilities to more clearly define "aggravation" in service- connection claims. The revisions would explicitly confirm a singular definition of "aggravation" that includes the requirement of "permanent worsening." The revisions would also include minor organizational and technical changes.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
