38 CFR §21.6059

1. (a)Number of evaluations. No more than 3,500 evaluations of the reasonable feasibility of achieving a vocational goal may be given during any 12-month period, beginning on February 1, 1985, and each subsequent February 1 during the program period.
2. (b)Cases counted as evaluation. An evaluation is deemed to be countable against the 3,500 limit permitted during each 12-month period when the following conditions are met:
   1. (1)The veteran is provided one or more personal interviews by a Counseling Psychologist (CP) or Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC); and
   2. (2)A determination of the reasonable feasibility of achieving a vocational goal is made by the CP or VRC.
3. (c)Cases not counted as evaluations. Computation of the number of evaluations which may be provided in a 12-month period shall exclude cases in which:
   1. (1)The veteran under age 45 awarded pension during the program period is unable to participate for reasons beyond his or her control;
   2. (2)Review of available information does not indicate a good potential for employment of other qualified veterans.
   3. (3)The veteran either fails to keep a scheduled appointment to complete the evaluation or withdraws the claim for an evaluation, or
   4. (4)The veteran who has completed an evaluation requires or requests a reevaluation.
4. (d)Priority. If a veteran below age 45 for whom an evaluation is required cannot be provided an evaluation during a particular 12-month period because of the limitation on the number of evaluations, the veteran will be given first priority for evaluation during the following 12-month period, or first available subsequent 12-month period, if otherwise eligible.
