Supplemental claims · EP 040

For the ordered review, open Claim review, select EP 040 and the claimant-filed compensation label after the common opening questions. Each issue has seven saved steps with linked records and examination requests. Use this page to consult an individual rule.

These reviews stay with the claim’s issues and development requests. Use separate reviews for independent actions or employers.

Coverage

The connected review covers claimant-filed compensation supplemental issues and explains the three principal articles. Supplemental service records, incomplete applications, ITFs and competing elections have supporting reviews. Compensation Board/HLR duty-to-assist returns and differences of opinion now have separate five-step reviews: choose Specialized labels and procedures in Claim review, then the exact return label. Historical/jurisdiction exceptions, final findings and benefit-specific award actions retain their controlling sources. An accepted application does not automatically require an examination or establish entitlement.
