Nothing in §§ 1.900 through 1.954 is intended to preclude VA settlement, waiver, or compromise of claims under statutes other than the Federal Claims Collection Act. See, e.g. 38 U.S.C. 3720(a)(4) and (5) and 5302(a) and 42 U.S.C. 2651-2653. Nor are §§ 1.900 through 1.954 intended to preclude Department of Veterans Affairs settlement, waiver, or compromise of claims under § 17.48(f) of this chapter for the cost of medical or hospital care furnished pursuant to § 17.47 (c)(1) or (d) of this chapter to persons who are entitled to hospital care or medical or surgical treatment or to reimbursement for all or part of the cost thereof by reason of “workmen's compensation” or “employer's liability” statutes, State or Federal; right to maintenance and cure in admiralty; or statutory or other relationships with third parties, giving rise to liability for damages because of negligence or other legal wrong.
