Issues You Can Appeal

November 3, 2023
Question

I think the Board of Veterans Appeals got my case wrong, but I'm not sure what I can appeal. What types of issues can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims?

Answer

You can appeal final denials for disability compensation. Final denials are actual denials and do not include remands. A remand is when the court sends the case back to the office where your original claim came from so they can review it again for further action.
 

If you have a final denial from the Board of Veterans Appeals and want to appeal it, you would need to file your appeal with The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims
