DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

38 CFR Part 4

 

Diseases of the Ear and Systemic Conditions; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the regulations of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that govern the evaluation of 
diseases of the ear and systemic conditions. These corrections are 
required in order to amend editorial errors in those regulations. No 
substantive change to the content of 38 CFR part 4 is being made by 
this correcting amendment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This correcting amendment is effective January 6, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Bisset, Jr., Consultant, 
Regulations Staff, Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans Benefits 
Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 233-3005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The regulations that appear at 38 CFR 4.87a, 
diagnostic code 6210, establish the criteria for evaluating disease of 
the auditory canal. Due to VA error, that criteria contains the word 
``serious'' instead of the word ``serous.'' This document corrects that 
error.
    The regulations that appear at 38 CFR 4.88a, diagnostic code 6311, 
establish the criteria for evaluating military tuberculosis. Due to VA 
error, that type of tuberculosis is identified as ``military'' instead 
of ``miliary'' tuberculosis. This document corrects that error.
