Are Ratings Officers having a bad attitude towards claimant's?

§4.23 Attitude of rating officers.
It is to be remembered that the majority of applicants are disabled persons who are seeking benefits of law to which they believe themselves entitled. In the exercise of his or her functions, rating officers must not allow their personal feelings to intrude; an antagonistic, critical, or even abusive attitude on the part of a claimant should not in any instance influence the officers in the handling of the case. Fairness and courtesy must at all times be shown to applicants by all employees whose duties bring them in contact, directly or indirectly, with the Department's claimants.
It doesn't take a genius to figure ratings officers ARE NOT applying this statute. It seems like they disregard all and any probative evidence that would substantiate a veteran's claim.
Any thoughts?
