New VA Program- Claim Accuracy Request
The VA recently announced a new pilot program to allow VA accredited representatives, agents, and attorneys to file for an expedited Higher-Level Review (“HLR”) of obvious errors of fact or law within 30 days of notification of a decision by the agency. If you do not file this request within 30 days of notification, your case will be treated as a standard HLR request. If your Claim Accuracy Request (“CAR”) is denied, then your appeal options are limited to filing a supplemental claim or a Notice of Disagreement with the BVA. I have attached the agency announcement of this program for your review: claim-accuracy-request
