This morning, the Federal Circuit released two nonprecedential opinions: one in a veterans case addressing service connection for disabilities and one in a pro se case appealed from the Merit Systems Protection Board and addressing untimeliness of a petition for review. Late yesterday and this morning, the court also released two nonprecedential orders dismissing appeals. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the orders.
