Opinions

This morning, the Federal Circuit issued two nonprecedential opinions in veterans cases. The court also issued a Rule 36 judgment. Here are the introductions to the opinions and a link to the Rule 36 judgment.

Beck v. Wilkie (Nonprecedential)

Appellant Cory D. Beck challenges the decision of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“the Veterans Court”), which rejected his claim that the Board of Veterans’ Appeals committed clear and unmistakable error when it denied his claim to benefits in 1989. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Straw v. Wilkie (Nonprecedential)

Appellant Andrew U.D. Straw appeals a panel decision by the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims affirming a Board of Veterans’ Appeals decision which denied Mr. Straw payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical care as a Camp Lejeune family member under 38 U.S.C. § 1787 and 38 C.F.R. § 17.410. We affirm the Veterans Court’s decision.
