PART 4_SCHEDULE FOR RATING DISABILITIES--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart A_General Policy in Rating
 
Sec. 4.24  Correspondence.

    All correspondence relative to the interpretation of the schedule 
for rating disabilities, requests for advisory opinions, questions 
regarding lack of clarity or application to individual cases involving 
unusual difficulties, will be addressed to the Director, Compensation 
and Pension Service. A clear statement will be made of the point or 
points upon which information is desired, and the complete case file 
will be simultaneously forwarded to Central Office. Rating agencies will 
assure themselves that the recent report of physical examination 
presents an adequate picture of the claimant's condition. Claims in 
regard to which the schedule evaluations are considered inadequate or 
excessive, and errors in the schedule will be similarly brought to 
attention.
