The issue of whether VA claims forms are required to rate residuals and complications of prostate cancer is an important subtext - for nearly a decade, the VA has been trying to recreate the system from one that is open and veteran friendly to one that is mechanical and bureaucratic.
I believe the VA's long term goal is to require a form for every requested VA action, and limiting the VA's action to what is specifically written on the form. Veterans advocates are pushing back hard - time will tell if the bureaucracy or the veterans prevail.
