Unverified Mode C

Taking the topic slightly broader, I would just like to say that an un-verified Mode C can actually be alot more helpfull than no Mode C at all. When providing RAS we have to provide 5 miles seperation from non-mode C returns, but with an un-verified mode C we are able to take 3000ft and a gap. Can save a lot of track miles in busy airspace.
