I'll give a general comment and then I'll turn it over to the COs, whose responsibility it is to fill out these forms. It is a document that Veterans Affairs reviews with respect to compensation and pensions. It records the incident and the circumstances to confirm that the individual was on duty at the time, and that the incident was the result of a service necessity. It has a place where a medical authority can sign off. In the current structure, it is required. Is it difficult to do? It can be, but I'll let the COs address that issue.
