DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

38 CFR Part 4 

RIN 2900–AP88 

Schedule for Rating Disabilities: 

Musculoskeletal System and Muscle 

Injuries; Correction 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) is making correcting 

amendments to the final rule published 

on November 30, 2020. The final rule 

amends the Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) Schedule for Rating 

Disabilities (‘‘VASRD’’ or ‘‘rating 

schedule’’) by revising the portion of the 

rating schedule that addresses the 

musculoskeletal system. 

DATES: Effective February 7, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary 

Reynolds, M.D., Regulations Staff 

(211C), Compensation Service, Veterans 

Benefits Administration, Department of 

Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461– 

9700. (This is not a toll-free number.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA is 

correcting its final rule, ‘‘RIN 2900– 

AP88; Schedule for Rating Disabilities: 

Musculoskeletal System and Muscle 

Injuries’’, that was published on 

November 30, 2020, in the Federal 

Register at 85 FR 76453. The error is 

with the diagnostic code used to 

evaluate plantar fasciitis in schedule for 

ratings of the foot under the Schedule of 

Ratings for the Musculoskeletal System. 

A new diagnostic code for plantar 

fasciitis was assigned in the final rule 

under diagnostic code 5285; however, 

this code was previously used to 

evaluate ‘‘vertebra, fracture of, 

residuals’’ and later ‘‘vertebral fracture 

or dislocation’’ in the General Rating 

Formula for Diseases and Injuries of the 

Spine in the Schedule for Rating for the 

spine until September 26, 2003 when it 

was moved under diagnostic code 5235, 

‘‘vertebral fracture or dislocation.’’ See 

68 FR 51454 and 67 FR 56509. Though 

vertebral fracture or dislocation is now 

evaluated using diagnostic code 5235, 

VA’s corporate database still uses 

historical diagnostic code 5285 to 

compensate veterans for residuals of 

fractures of the vertebra who have not 

yet been converted to the current 

diagnostic code 5235. In order to avoid 

any issues with the use of the new 

diagnostic code for plantar fasciitis 

under 5285 and the historical diagnostic 

code 5285 previously used to evaluate 

residuals of spinal fractures, VA assigns 

a new diagnostic code for plantar 

fasciitis under diagnostic code 5269. As 

such, we are also redesignating the 

entire entry for plantar fasciitis from 

diagnostic codes 5285 to 5269, though 

we are maintaining its location in 

§ 4.71a in the table entitled ‘‘The Foot’’ 

between diagnostic codes 5284 and 

5296.
