GN 01040.010 Diary Codes

A. Introduction

All diaries established will call the claims up for review 60 days after the diary is established unless a later due date is entered into the system. Adjudicators should modify the systems generated diary date if a due date other than 60 days is needed or required. Adjudicators should also delete systems propagated diaries if they are unnecessary. For example, a 016 diary for post 1967 military service should be deleted prior to adjudication.

The list of diary codes is included in this chapter as a convenience and general aid to FO and PC personnel. This list cannot be used as the sole source to determine when a diary should be coded onto a claim. That decision is an adjudicative decision based on the type of issue being diaried, and the policy relating to that issue. Diaries should be entered based upon careful review of the various pertinent POMS sections to which the codes apply.

Note that when the diaried action is completed prior to the maturing of a DO/BO or PC initiated diary or if an established diary is unnecessary, the FO should instruct PSC to cancel the diary by faxing the SSA-409 into PSC paperless at the time the diaried action has been completed if it has not yet matured or at adjudication if the diary is unnecessary. See GN 01040.005.
