Description

Court of Veterans Appeals Clarifies when Notices of Appeal Are Deemed Received

Abstract

The United States Court of Veterans Appeals has amended its rules of practice and procedure to clarify when notices of appeal of a Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) decision are deemed to have been received by the court. Persons adversely affected by decisions of the BVA must file a notice of appeal within 120 days after the date on which the board mailed notice of the decision to the appellant. As provided for by Pub. L. No. 103-446, § 511, notices of appeal are deemed to be received (1) on the date of the notice's legible postmark or (2) on the date of the notice's receipt by the court clerk, if the notice does not bear a legible postmark or it is delivered by means other than by U.S. mail. This amendment affects the Court of Veterans Appeals Rules of Practice and Procedure 4(a) and 25(b)(2).
