26 ;;The severity of disability is based upon actual symptomatology,
27 ;;as it affects social and industrial adaptability. Two of the
28 ;;most important determinants of disability are time lost from
29 ;;gainful work and decrease in efficiency. The rating board must
30 ;;not underevaluate the emotionally sick veteran with a good work
31 ;;record, nor must it overevaluate his or her condition on the
32 ;;basis of a poor work record not supported by the psychiatric
33 ;;disability picture. It is for this reason that great emphasis
34 ;;is placed upon the full report of the examiner, descriptive of
35 ;;actual symptomatology. The record of the history and complaints
36 ;;is only preliminary to the examination. The objective findings
37 ;;and the examiner's analysis of the symptomatology are the
38 ;;essentials. The examiner's classification of the disease
39 ;;as "mild", "moderate", or "severe" is not determinative of the
40 ;;degree of disability, but the report and the analysis of the
41 ;;symptomatology and full consideration of the history by the
42 ;;rating agency will be. In evaluating disability from psychotic
43 ;;disorders it is necessary to consider, in addition to present
44 ;;symptomatology or its absence, the frequency, severity and
45 ;;duration of previous psychotic periods, and the veteran's
46 ;;capacity for adjustment during periods of remission. Repeated
47 ;;psychotic periods, without long remissions, may be expected
48 ;;to have a sustained effect upon employability until elapsed
49 ;;time in good remission and with good capacity for adjustment
50 ;;establishes the contrary. Ratings are to be assigned which
51 ;;represent the impairment of social and industrial adaptability
52 ;;based on all evidence of record.

56 ;;(since the historical data covering the
57 ;;veteran's life up to the time of the last examination are generally in the
58 ;;claim file, only the time between such last rating examination and the present
59 ;;need be accounted for, unless the purpose of this examination is to ESTABLISH

64 ;; 1. State whether the veteran is capable of managing his/her
65 ;; benefit payments in the individual's own best interests (a
66 ;; physical disability which prevents the veteran from attending
67 ;; to financial matters in person is not a proper basis for a
68 ;; finding of incompetency unless the veteran is, by reason of that
69 ;; disability, incapable of directing someone else in handling
70 ;; the individual's financial affairs) -
