Sec. 4.70  Inadequate examinations.

    If the report of examination is inadequate as a basis for the 
required consideration of service connection and evaluation, the rating 
agency may request a supplementary report from the examiner giving 
further details as to the limitations of the disabled person's ordinary 
activity imposed by the disease, injury, or residual condition, the 
prognosis for return to, or continuance of, useful work. When the best 
interests of the service will be advanced by personal conference with 
the examiner, such conference may be arranged through channels.
