Default Re: HOLES IN DISABILITY BILL PUZZLE SOME VETERANS -- 01-27-2008 #4

Because of language appearing in the National Defense Appropriate Act of 2008, Sect 1641, (requiring application of VA law, and regulations, as interpreted by the CAVC) I believe that the Super PEB will be bound to the standard of review utilized by the VA, i.e., "as likely as not."

Even better, it also appears from the DoDI 6040.44, paragraph 6(i)(3), that new evidence may be presented, including subsequent VA disability determinations. This is a very fertile opportunity.

Does anyone know who in the AF is putting the regs together?
