Using this section
A regulation only helps if you point at it. Here is how to put this one to work.
Cite it by number
Write § 20.406 into your statement and quote the sentence you are relying on. A rater reading a claim that names the rule spends less time guessing what you meant.
Find the rest of the rule
Sections cross-reference each other constantly. Search 38 CFR and M-21-1 for any reference this one sends you to.
Check the percentages
Procedure is one half of a claim; the rating criteria are the other. Browse the rating schedule for the diagnostic code that covers your condition.
