SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 9,
2015, VA published a proposed rule in
the Federal Register at 80 FR 32513,
suggesting changes to 38 CFR 4.77
through 4.79, the portion of the VASRD
pertaining to the organs of special sense
and schedule of ratings—eye. VA
invited interested parties to submit
comments on or before August 10, 2015.
VA received five comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
A. General Rating Formula for Eye
Diseases
VA proposed several revisions to the
General Rating Formula for Diseases of
the Eye, including a new definition of
incapacitating episodes that used the
number of clinic visits required to treat
active eye disease as a means of
quantifying the level of disability. VA
also proposed to apply the formula to
more diagnostic codes (DCs).
Two comments regarding the
proposed updates to the General Rating
Formula, specifically regarding missing
definitions, were received. One
commenter asked for clarification of
‘‘per year’’ in regard to measuring the
number of visits for medical treatment.
VA appreciates the comment concerning
how ‘‘per year’’ is defined, and will
further clarify the relevant time period
by substituting the phrase ‘‘within the
past twelve months’’ for the phrase ‘‘per
year.’’ The change of phrasing to
‘‘within the past twelve months’’ is
consistent with VA’s practice of
assigning ‘‘staged ratings’’ where the
evidence shows that different ratings are
appropriate for distinct periods of time.
See Hart v. Mansfield, 21 Vet. App. 505,
509 (2007) (citing Fenderson v. West, 12
Vet. App. 119, 126 (1999)). The same
commenter asked why VA did not
define ‘‘active eye disease’’ in the
proposed rule. VA appreciates the
comment, and for the reasons outlined
below, will remove ‘‘active eye disease’’
as a term that requires definition.
The majority of the comments
regarding the proposed updates,
however, concerned the revision to
‘‘incapacitating episodes.’’ Two
commenters did not agree with using
the number of clinic visits to quantify
the severity of incapacitating episodes,
noting that many conditions are
