About RatingScope

Who runs RatingScope

RatingScope is an independent education project.

RatingScope is not a law firm and is not a VA-accredited attorney, agent, or representative. Nothing on this site is legal advice or medical advice.

RatingScope does not prepare, present, or file claims. It does not make rating decisions. Only VA does.

What RatingScope is

An independent site that explains what published VA rules say, in plain English. We cite the exact section of 38 CFR.

What RatingScope is not

It is not part of VA and is not endorsed by VA. It is not a law firm or a claims service. It is not a nonprofit. The .org in the web address does not mean RatingScope is a nonprofit.

Corrections

We fix errors when we find them or when a reader points one out. Use the Contact page for corrections.

Two websites
