Veteran benefits entitles a
veteran to benefits for
service-connected disabilities, survivor
benefits and other benefits such as
education payments and waiver of
indebtedness. If you have been denied a
claim, you can file an appeal to the
Board of Veterans Appeals in Washington,

days from receipt of the Statement of
the Case or within one year of the
Notice of Action by the Regional Office
denying the claim.
If you have been denied by the BVA, you must file your Notice of Appeal with
The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims by mail or fax within 120
days after the date when the Board of Veterans Appeal mailed a copy of its final
decision to you and/or your representative. The United States Court of Appeals
for Veterans Claims is a national court of record, established under Article I
of the Constitution of the United States. This Court has exclusive jurisdiction
to provide judicial review of final decisions by the Board of Veterans' Appeals,
an entity within the Department of Veterans Affairs.

attorney or you may represent yourself, BUT REMEMBER VA will be represented by

Review laws and regulations relating to your case.
