Hello,
I am looking forward to performing a review of this article and glad we were able to chat first. My approach is to review each section, make minor edits as I go along (links, punctuation, etc.) to save us both time and effort, and then assess the article against GA criteria. Feel free to revert edits that I make if you disagree.–

It's my personal approach, not meaning that you need to adopt it, that it is generally best not to emphasize terms with italics or quotes. For this article, there should be a consistent approach.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 19:47, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Lead
"average impairment in earnings capacity" - specific language from the statute, cited in the body of the article.
VA disability benefits for PTSD > History
"parity ratio" - a term with a specific meaning. Would italics be better? Or neither because the endnote explains the term? I'm not sure on this one.
Claims process > In line of duty and exceptions
"In line of duty" is italicized in the original. I did not add a parenthetical to that effect because I thought it was too academic to do so, but I don't mind adding "(italics in original)".
Claims process > Benefits claim procedures
I italicized VA claim exam in both instances for consistency. It is a phrase with a specific meaning. But if you don't think it needs italics, I'm fine with that.
Disability rating > General rating formula for mental disorders
I italicized "General rating formula for mental disorders" and (thereafter) "Rating Formula" because it is the name of a specific (and very important) section of a federal regulation, cited in the first instance.
VBA "raters" who adjudicate claims --> I put "raters" in quote marks because it is a widely used, but informal term.
Disability rating > Individual unemployability
"schedular" in quotes because it is a specifically defined (but rather odd-sounding and often misunderstood) term.
Disability Benefits Questionnaire
"However, it is important to note that the VA discourages their mental health clinicians ..." --> emphasis added because VA makes a clear distinction in this regard for mental health clinicians.

An Act To amend and modify the War Risk Insurance Act, ch. 16, 41 Stat. 371, 373 (1919) ("A schedule of ratings of reductions in earning capacity from specific injuries or combinations of injuries of a permanent nature shall be adopted and applied by the bureau. Ratings may be as high as 100 per annum. The ratings shall be based, as far as practicable, upon the average impairments of earning capacity resulting from such injuries in civil occupations and not upon the impairment in earning capacity in each individual case ...").
Great job on the article! It looks good, just some minor items to work through. Please let me know if you have any questions.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 00:13, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Excellent, thanks, Markworthen! Looks good. The article passes GA. Yeah!– CaroleHenson ( talk) 20:55, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
I added a note to editors at the top of the article:
You can purchase Bluebook in an online version ($39/one year; $59/two years, or $79/three years) or as a spiralbound print book ($45), or see if your local library has a copy. (You can purchase the print book from other outlets - the link here goes to the publisher's order page.) You might also wish to consult online guides that provide basic Bluebook citation formats, tutorials, and related information.
