Abstract
The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) amends its regulations regarding the submission of evidence in disability claims to require you to inform us or submit all evidence known to you that "relates to" your disability claim, with exceptions for privileged communications and duplicates. This requirement includes the duty to submit all evidence obtained from any source in its entirety, subject to one of these exceptions. These clarifications to our regulations describe in more detail the requirement for you to submit all evidence that relates to your disability claim, enables us to have a more complete case record which will allow us to make more accurate determinations of your disability status, and aligns our disability evidence requirements with regulations of the Social Security Administration (SSA).
