 ;;
 ;; Your patient is applying to the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for
 ;; disability benefits.  VA will consider the information you provide on this
 ;; questionnaire as part of their evaluation in processing the Veteran's claim.
 ;;
 ;; 1. Diagnosis
 ;;
 ;; a. Does the Veteran have one or more scars anywhere on the body, or
 ;; disfigurement of the head, face, or neck?
 ;; ___ Yes    ___ No
 ;;
 ;; If yes, provide only diagnoses that pertain to scars anywhere on the
 ;; body, or disfigurement of the head, face, or neck:
 ;;
 ;; Diagnosis #1: ____________________
 ;; ICD code: ________________________
 ;; Date of diagnosis: _______________
 ;;
 ;; Diagnosis #2: ____________________
 ;; ICD code: ________________________
 ;; Date of diagnosis: _______________
 ;;
 ;; Diagnosis #3: ____________________
 ;; ICD code:  _______________________
 ;; Date of diagnosis: _______________
 ;;
 ;; If there are additional diagnoses that pertain to scars anywhere on the
 ;; body, or disfigurement of the head, face, or neck due to scars or other
 ;; causes, list using above format: ___________________________________________
 ;;
 ;; b. Does the Veteran have any scars on the trunk or extremities (regions
 ;; other than the head, face or neck)?
 ;; ___ Yes    ___ No
 ;;
 ;; If yes, complete Section I
 ;;
 ;; c. Does the Veteran have any scars or disfigurement of the head, face
 ;; or neck?
 ;; ___ Yes    ___ No
 ;;
 ;; If yes, complete Section II
 ;;^TOF^
 ;; INSTRUCTIONS:
 ;; Provide all linear measurements in centimeters and area measurements in
 ;; centimeters squared.
 ;; For non-linear scars, measure the length and width at their widest points.
 ;; After measuring the scars, use the summary sections to
 ;; provide the combined approximate total area for all scars in each region.
 ;; If scars are too numerous to count (for example, multiple scattered shrapnel
 ;; wound scars, acne scarring or pseudofolliculitis barbae), indicate 'TNTC'
 ;; and provide approximate combined total area.
 ;;
 ;; Regardless of the answers to questions 1b and 1c, complete Section III.
 ;;
 ;; NOTE: For VA purposes, superficial non-linear scars are those not associated
 ;; with underlying soft tissue damage, while deep non-linear scars are
 ;; associated with underlying soft tissue damage.
