Supplemental Materials for Book C Code of Federal Regulations Title 38, Part 4 Schedule for Rating Disabilities Veterans Benefits Administration Supplement No. 29 25 June 2002 Covering the period of Federal Register issues through June 24, 2002 When Book C was originally prepared, it was current through final regulations published in the Federal Register of 24 March 1992. These supplemental materials are designed to keep your regulations up to date. You should file the attached pages immediately, and record the fact that you did so on the Supplement Filing Record which is at page C-8 of Book C, Schedule for Rating Disabilities. To ensure accuracy and timeliness of your materials, it is important that you follow these simple procedures: 1. Always file your supplemental materials immediately upon receipt. 2. Before filing, always check the Supplement Filing Record (page C-8) to be sure that all prior supplements have been filed. If you are missing any supplements, contact the Veterans Benefits Administration at the address listed on page C-2. 3. After filing, enter the relevant information on the Supplement Filing Record sheet (page C-8)—the date filed, name/initials of filer, and date through which the Federal Register is covered. 4. If as a result of a failure to file, or an undelivered supplement, you have more than one supplement to file at a time, be certain to file them in chronological order, lower number first. 5. Always retain the filing instructions (simply insert them at the back of the book) as a backup record of filing and for reference in case of a filing error. 6. Be certain that you permanently discard any pages indicated for removal in the filing instructions in order to avoid confusion later. To execute the filing instructions, simply remove and throw away the pages listed under Remove These Old Pages, and replace them in each case with the corresponding pages from this supplement listed under Add These New Pages. Occasionally new pages will be added without removal of any old material (reflecting new regulations), and occasionally old pages will be removed without addition of any new material (reflecting rescinded regulations)—in these cases the word None will appear in the appropriate column. FILING INSTRUCTIONS Book C, Supplement No. 29 June 25, 2002 Remove these Add these Section(s) old pages new pages Affected Do not file this supplement until you confirm that all prior supplements have been filed 4.116-3 to 4.116-4 4.116-3 to 4.116-4 §4.116 Be sure to complete the Supplement Filing Record (page C-8) when you have finished filing this material. HIGHLIGHTS Book C, Supplement No. 29 June 25, 2002 Supplement Highlights references: Where substantive changes are made in the text of regulations, the paragraphs of Highlights sections are cited at the end of the relevant section of text. Thus, if you are reading §3.263, you will see a note at the end of that section which reads: “Supplement Highlights references—6(2).” This means that paragraph 2 of the Highlights section in Supplement No. 6 contains information about the changes made in §3.263. By keeping and filing the Highlights sections, you will have a reference source explaining all substantive changes in the text of the regulations. Supplement frequency: This Book C (Schedule for Rating Disabilities) was originally supplemented four times a year, in February, May, August, and November. Beginning 1 August 1995, supplements will be issued every month during which a final rule addition or modification is made to the parts of Title 38 covered by this book. Supplements will be numbered consecutively as issued. Modifications in this supplement include the following: 1. On 30 May 2002, the VA published a correction to a rule originally published on 14 February 2002. This was a formatting issue that we had already addressed in the last supplement covering §4.116. The only change in this supplement is to add a citation reference for the correction. Following simple mastectomy or wide local excision with significant alteration of size or form: Both 501 One 301 Following wide local excision without significant alteration of size or form: Both or one 0 Note: For VA purposes: (1) Radical mastectomy means removal of the entire breast, underlying pectoral muscles, and regional lymph nodes up to the coracoclavicular ligament. (2) Modified radical mastectomy means removal of the entire breast and axillary lymph nodes (in continuity with the breast). Pectoral muscles are left intact. (3) Simple (or total) mastectomy means removal of all of the breast tissue, nipple, and a small portion of the overlying skin, but lymph nodes and muscles are left intact.
