How this roundup is made

  • This page is generated automatically from stored versions of each section. No one writes or edits it, and it adds no interpretation: it shows the passages added and removed.
  • M21-1 is copied weekly since March 20, 2026, and a change counts only when the VA's own “last updated” date moved; the date shown is that date. 38 CFR versions start December 14, 2016, dated by amendment.
  • Always confirm the current text at the source link before relying on it.
