Short Statement: As amended by the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017, appellate review of the denial of VA benefits may only be initiated by filing a Notice of Disagreement with the Board. 38 U.S.C. § 7105(a); proposed 38 C.F.R. § 20.202. To be accepted by the Board as an appeal, the Notice of Disagreement must be in a form prescribed by VA, identify the specific determination with which the claimant disagrees, and must indicate if the claimant requests to have a hearing before the Board, an opportunity to submit additional evidence, or neither. 38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2). The Jeff Miller and Richard Blumenthal Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2016, Pub. L. 114-315, amends 38 U.S.C. § 7107 to establish the Board’s authority, upon request for a hearing, to determine what type of hearing it will provide an appellant, while affording the appellant the opportunity to request an alternative type of hearing once the Board makes its initial determination. 4 Forms that are now included:
