SUBJECT
Veterans
AUTHOR
TBD

Issue(s) Presented

1. “Whether the implicit denial doctrine is inapplicable to a claim subject to the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) because the AMA’s notice requirements, statutory structure, and principles of due process prohibit implicit denials of such claims.”

2. “Whether the implicit denial doctrine is inapplicable to a request to reopen a character of discharge (COD) determination when the VA provides only a service connection decision for the purposes of health care benefits without a COD determination.”

3. “Whether Mr. Hamill’s petition was not moot because the picking off exception to mootness applies.”
