GN 00301.220 Recording Efforts to Help Claimants
A. Procedure for recording efforts to help claimants
-
•
If the claimant needs special help, record that fact, and why, so that it will be
readily apparent to others who may handle the claim.
-
•
Record the steps taken to assist the claimant as they occur. This provides the basis
for determining that we took all reasonable and proper efforts for preparing reports
for the file, and justifying the adjudicative action taken.
