    Description: 20 CFR 718 specifies that certain information relative 
to the medical condition of a claimant who is alleging the presence of 
pneumoconiosis be obtained as a routine function of the claim 
adjudication process. The medical specifications in the regulations 
have been formatted in a variety of forms to promote efficiency and 
accuracy in gathering the required data. These forms were designed to 
meet the need to establish medical evidence. If this information were 
not gathered, determinations on total disability could not be made.
