    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the

    The purpose of the Committee is to advise the Secretary of Veterans

for Rating Disabilities. The Committee is to assemble and review 
relevant information relating to the nature and character of 
disabilities arising during service in the Armed Forces, provide an 
ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of the rating schedule, and 
give advice on the most appropriate means of responding to the needs of 
Veterans relating to disability compensation.
    The Committee will receive briefings on issues related to 
compensation for Veterans with service-connected disabilities and on 
other VA benefits programs. Time will be allocated for receiving public 
comments. Public comments will be limited to three minutes each. 
Individuals wishing to make oral statements before the Committee will

to Stacy Boyd, Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Benefits 
Administration, Compensation Service, Policy Staff (211A), 810 Vermont 
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420 or email at [email protected]. Since 
the meeting is being held in a government building, a photo I.D. must 
be presented at the Guard's Desk as a part of the screening process.
