M21-1 Adjudication Procedures Manual

The M21-1 Adjudication Procedures Manual is a guide used by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to process claims for veterans' benefits. It provides detailed instructions on how to evaluate and decide issues related to disability compensation, pension, and other benefits. The manual aims to ensure consistency and fairness in decision-making, helping staff understand the laws and regulations that apply. By following these procedures, the VA can effectively serve veterans and their families, ensuring they receive the benefits they are entitled to based on their service and circumstances.
