title: Review of benefit claims decisions. Final rule.
abstract: This document concerns the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations. We are adding new provisions to allow any claimants who file a timely Notice of Disagreement to obtain a de novo review of their claims at the Veterans Service Center level before deciding whether to proceed with the traditional appeal process. This is intended to provide a more efficient means for resolving disagreements concerning claims.
