Recent changes to the VA M21-1 adjudication manual and its sibling VBA
manuals — the changelog VA does not publish. VetAid archives every KnowVA
article version weekly and diffs them; each change carries what was added
and removed, a link to the current official article, and the conditions and
claim topics it touches. Use this when asked whether a VA rule changed
recently, or when a claim's stage (exams, nexus, TDIU, SMC, effective dates,
Higher-Level Review, Supplemental Claims, Board appeals) may be affected.
Args:
condition: optional condition keyword to filter by (e.g. 'ptsd', 'hearing').
topic: optional claim topic: tdiu, smc, effective_date, cue, hlr, supplemental_claim,
board_appeal, intent_to_file, presumption, secondary, exams, nexus, lay_evidence,
strs, dic, pension, pact, reduction, duty_to_assist, rating_schedule.
since: optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD); only changes whose new version is dated on/after it.
