My cowgirl question of the day. Got my thinking cap on today.
"When it comes to disability ratings, is the entire VA decision letter legally binding? or only the wording part of the decision letter legal and binding?"
As I read about VA court cases, precidented and unprecidented, I wonder if the court holds the entire decision, numbers and date or simply a portion thereof.
Are only the words legal? or everything on the letter including dates and numbers? Or is only the raters statement and what is attributed to the compensation examiner or other medical professional held to be binding?
Just wondering really how to deterimine if a NOD is needed, by the details on the letter or the intent. I suspect the intent.
Best to'ya,
