The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to revise the regulations that involve the Musculoskeletal System within the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (``VASRD'' or ``Rating Schedule'').

These revisions would incorporate medical terminology more recent than the last comprehensive review, as well as simplify the rating process.
