Board of Veterans' Appeals: Rules of PracticeRevision of Decisions on Grounds of Clear and Unmistakable Error

This document amends the Rules of Practice of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) to implement the provisions of section 1(b) of Pub. L. No. 105-111 (Nov. 21, 1997), which permit challenges to Board decisions on the grounds of ``clear and unmistakable error'' (CUE). The amendments provide specific application procedures and establish decision standards based on case law. These changes implement the new statutory provisions, which permit a claimant to demand review by the Board to determine whether CUE exists in an appellate decision previously issued by the Board, with a right of review of such determinations by the U.S. Court of Veterans Appeals.
