# §21.94. Changing the plan.

- (a) **General.** The veteran, the Counseling Psychologist (CP) or Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) or the vocational rehabilitation specialist may request a change in the plan at any time.
- (b) **Long-range goals.** A change in the statement of a long-range goal may only be made following a reevaluation of the veteran's rehabilitation program by the CP or VRC. A change may be made when:
  - (1) Achievement of the current goal(s) is no longer reasonably feasible; or
  - (2) The veteran's circumstances have changed or new information has been developed which makes rehabilitation more likely if a different long-range goal is established; and
  - (3) **The veteran fully participates and concurs in the change.**
- (c) **Intermediate objectives or services.** A change in intermediate objectives or services provided under the plan may be made by the case manager when such change is necessary to carry out the statement of long-range goals. The veteran must concur in the change.
- (d) **Minor changes.** Minor changes in the plan (e.g., changing the date of a scheduled evaluation) by the case manager may be made without the participation and concurrence of the veteran.
- (e) **Changes in duration of the plan.** Any change in the total duration of a veteran's rehabilitation plan is subject to provisions on duration of a rehabilitation program described in [§§ 21.70-21.78](/cfr/38/21.70-21.78.md).
