In a separate rulemaking, VA will propose to expand the current presumption for peripheral neuropathy. | 2012-08-10 | 2012 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/08/10/2012-19635/determinations-concerning-illnesses-discussed-in-national-academy-of-sciences-report-veterans-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-08-10/pdf/2012-19635.pdf | Veterans Affairs Department | 520 | As required by law, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hereby gives notice that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, under the authority granted by the Agent Orange Act of 1991, codified at 38 U.S.C. 1116, has determined that there is no basis to... |
