Using this section

A regulation only helps if you point at it. Here is how to put this one to work.

  1. Cite it by number

    Write § 20.101 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
