Abstract
This document amends the Rules of Practice of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) relating to the time limit for filing a "substantive appeal." The amendment implements an opinion by the General Counsel of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that, in some cases, when a claimant files additional evidence, the deadline for filing a substantive appeal may be extended.
