Abstract
This document amends the regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) relating to attorney fees. We are removing the requirement that, in order for an agent or attorney to charge a fee for services provided in a case, there must have been a notice of disagreement filed in the case on or after November 18, 1988. This change is required by a statute enacted in December 2001.
