Current as of January 02, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) General. The veteran, the Counseling Psychologist (CP), Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC), or the vocational rehabilitation specialist may request a change in the plan at any time.

(Authority:  38 U.S.C. 3107(b))

(b) Long-range goals. A change in the statement of a long-range goal may only be made following a reevaluation of the veteran's rehabilitation program by the CP or VRC. A change may be made when:

(1) Achievement of the current goal(s) is no longer reasonably feasible;  or

(2) The veteran's circumstances have changed or new information has been developed which makes rehabilitation more likely if a different long-range goal is established;  and

(3) The veteran fully participates and concurs in the change.

(Authority:  38 U.S.C. 3107(b))

(c) Intermediate objectives or services. A change in intermediate objectives or services provided under the plan may be made by the case manager when such change is necessary to carry out the statement of long-range goals. The veteran must concur in the change.

(Authority:  38 U.S.C. 3107(b))

(d) Minor changes. Minor changes in the plan (e.g., changing the date of a scheduled evaluation) by the case manager may be made without the participation and concurrence of the veteran.

(Authority:  38 U.S.C. 3107(b))

(e) Changes in duration of the plan. Any change in the total duration of a veteran's rehabilitation plan is subject to provisions on duration of a rehabilitation program described in §§ 21.70–21.78.

(Authority:  38 U.S.C. 3107(b))
