21-073	No	$0	$0	Management does not concur with this recommendation. This recommendation remains open because the Office of Inspector General for the Railroad Retirement Board continues to see the need for the recommended corrective action.
The Office of Programs should ensure that the Disability Benefits Division works with Policy and Systems to implement system modifications to D-BRIEF to ensure that the Disability Briefing Document for decisions changed from occupational to total and permanent disabilities do not contain the incorrect statement that the (railroad) employee (applicant) was rated using Independent Case Evaluation.
