The Process of Appealing a Denial
If a Veterans feels the Board of Veterans Appeals decision was flawed, they have 120 day after the BVA sends its decision to rightfully request the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims perform a judicial reevaluate their case. You will need to file a notice of appearance to pinpoint your attorney for CAVC appeal. The cases the CAVC hears are survivor benefits, reimbursement for unauthorized medical payments, disability benefits and education benefits.
The CAVC is a proper court where evidentiary and substantive law are rigorously enforced. Only if you have an existing claim will the CAVC judges review the case. Verbal arguments are requested by the court at times if the case has the intent to challenge the existing law.
The CAVC judges will pass down points of view that require the VA to comply with the CAVC’s decision, conclude the significance of the BVA’s ruling, or determine statutory, regulatory, and constitutional provisions of claims the BVA concluded. Upon evaluation the CAVC may choose to agree with the BVA’s ruling to reject the claim or instruct the BVA to amend their inaccuracy of law in the decision made.
The Veterans ability to provide powerful evidence plays a major role in order to receive a favorable outcome. The reason being is because the CAVC generally reviews the case exactly how it was presented to the BVA and requires sound legal reasoning to counter all arguments by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, who is the Veterans opposition in an appeal. For this reason, it is important for Veterans to have an expert CAVC appeal attorney review claim file and develop an appeal to assist your case.
If this process results in a dissatisfactory decision, the Veteran may appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This is the Veterans final chance to have their case witnessed.
