|
---|
| 7 | ;;nutritional deficiencies have acute phases at onset and
|
---|
| 8 | ;;accompanying recurrences but leave little or no residual
|
---|
| 9 | ;;disability beyond the acute phase. Other such conditions may
|
---|
| 10 | ;;present with slow progression and show significant residual
|
---|
| 11 | ;;disability. The examiner must diligently search for residual
|
---|
| 12 | ;;disabilities upon which adjudication of the case may be made.
