Special Monthly Compensation for Women Veterans Who Lose a Breast 
as a Result of a Service-Connected Disability; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In a document published in the Federal Register on February 
14, 2002 (67 FR 6872), we amended VA's adjudication regulations to 
provide for payment of special monthly compensation for a woman veteran 
who loses one or both breasts as a result of service-connected 
disability. The document contains typographical errors in the ``Note'' 
at the end of diagnostic code 7626 in [sect] 4.116 ``Schedule or 
ratings--gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast.'' This 
document corrects those typographical errors.

DATES: Effective Date: This correction is effective March 18, 2002.

Policy and Regulations Staff (211A), Compensation and Pension, Veterans 
Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273-7230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In rule FR Doc. 02-3677, published on 
February 14, 2002 (67 FR 6872), make the following correction:
