BONUS-FOR THE VETERAN OF THE VETERAN OF THE VETERAN SHARE OF THE DAY
Major VA mental health rating changes are coming in 2024.
The VA has proposed to adopt new evaluation criteria that more accurately captures the occupational impairment caused by mental disabilities and provide adequate compensation for the earnings losses experienced by veterans with service connected mental disorders.

The VA says: “the new criterion should generally lead to more generous compensation for veterans than the current rating formula.”
I think the changes will allow for higher ratings for mental health conditions with less stringent requirements for the 70% and 100% rating criteria and a required minimum rating of 10% for any diagnosed mental health condition.
The 0% rating for mental health has been removed.

As someone who has navigated the VA system for mental health support, I can attest to the challenges veterans often face in getting their conditions accurately recognized and compensated. It's encouraging to see the VA taking steps to update its evaluation criteria to better reflect the real impact of mental health issues on veterans' lives.
