Fast Letter 10-34

SUBJ: Disability Benefits Questionnaires

As part of the Pittsburgh Regional Office's Innovation Initiative, a working group composed of representatives from VBA, VHA, Office of the General Counsel, the Board of Veterans' Appeals and the Pittsburgh Regional Office, was formed to develop streamlined Disability Benefits Questionnaires.

Formerly known as Worksheets, the streamlined Questionnaires are designed for use by both private and VA physicians in connection with applications for VA disability benefits. Each Questionnaire is derived directly from the disability rating criteria contained in the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities.

The first three Questionnaires that the working group developed are attached. They pertain to the disabilities related to herbicide exposure that are part of the proposed Agent Orange regulation: Ischemic Heart Disease, Hairy Cell Leukemia and other B-cell Leukemias, and Parkinson's Disease.

The three attached Questionnaires have been approved by OMB and can be filled out by the Veteran's treating or examining physician (VA or private).

The Questionnaires have been sent for programming in VISTA. Notification will be provided once the questionnaire is available in VISTA.

For any questions e-mail VAVBAWAS/CO/21Q&A.
