  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-23-E5-7758</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In a document published in the Federal Register at 66 FR 49886 
on October 1, 2001, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposed to 
amend those portions of its adjudication regulations and its Schedule 
for Rating Disabilities dealing with the issue of total disability 
ratings based on inability of the individual to engage in substantially 
gainful employment in claims for serviceconnected compensation or non
serviceconnected pension. This document withdraws that proposed rule.

  <description><![CDATA[ The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its 
regulations governing accreditation of representatives of claimants for 
veterans' benefits. These proposed changes would require that 
recognized organizations periodically recertify the qualifications of
