    (c) Intermediate objectives or services. A change in intermediate 
objectives or services provided under the plan may be made by the case 
manager when such change is necessary to carry out the statement of 
long-range goals. The veteran must concur in the change.

the participation and concurrence of the veteran.


(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3107(b))

    (e) Changes in duration of the plan. Any change in the total 
duration of a veteran's rehabilitation plan is subject to provisions on
