The Department of Veterans Affairs 

(VA) gives notice under (Pub. L. 92–463) 

(Federal Advisory Committee Act) that 

the Veterans’ Disability Benefits 

Commission has scheduled a meeting 

for July 18-20, 2007 at the Washington

Washington, DC. The meeting sessions 

will begin at 8:30 a.m. each day and end 

at 5:15 p.m. on July 18 and 19. The July 

20 session will end at 3 p.m. The

The purpose of the Commission is to 

carry out a study of the benefits under 

the laws of the United States that are 

provided to compensate and assist 

veterans and their survivors for 

disabilities and deaths attributable to 

military service. 

The agenda for the meeting will 

feature final decisions on several Issue 

Papers tentatively approved during 

previous sessions, continuing 

discussions and tentative decisions on 

the Issue Papers addressing Concurrent 

Receipt and Survivors Concurrent 

Receipt, and stakeholder input on the 

three Issue Papers released in June 2007 

for public comment. Those three Papers 

are entitled: Vocational Rehabilitation & 

Employment, Ancillary and Special 

Purpose Benefits, and the Transition 

Report. Draft sections of the 

Commission’s final report and its 

guiding principles will also be 

addressed. The Government 

Accountability Office will brief the 

Commission on its findings regarding 

information technology sharing between 

VA and the Department of Defense 

(DoD). The Chairman of the Commission 

on the National Guard and Reserves will 

present the findings and 

recommendations of that panel. 

The agenda will also feature an 

overview of the Institute of Medicine 

(IOM) Committee on Presumptions’

final report and discussions of its 

findings and recommendations with the 

Commission. The Center for Naval 

Analyses (CNA) will present its final 

briefing on the comparison of DoD and 

VA disability ratings and the Executive 

Summary of its final report to the 

Commission. Topics raised in previous 

sessions will also be discussed at the 

meeting in great detail to include: a joint 

VA–DoD disability process; an 

assessment by the Institute for Defense 

Analysis of variations in VA ratings; and 

VA review of IOM final reports on the 

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 

Diagnosis & Assessment and PTSD 

Compensation studies. 

Interested persons may attend and
