Summary

This bill amends title 38 of the United States Code to improve the clarity of decisions issued by the Board of Veterans' Appeals. It requires the Board to include specific elements in its written decisions.

Sec. 2, Board of Veterans' Appeals: Elements of decisions: This section modifies the requirements for Board decisions. It adds a new requirement that if certain evidence was not considered, the decision must identify when the evidence was received and the specific provision of law that prevents its consideration. It also adds a new requirement that the decision must include a written determination on whether the notice of disagreement was adequate and timely filed. Additionally, it makes a conforming amendment to section 7105 of title 38.
