I got a Board of Veterans Appeals decision a year ago. Finally, I got a RO "implementation" decision. The Board Required
consideration for IU (not done) and consideration for sleep apnea(not done).
The Board decision was a partial remand. Neither IU nor sleep apnea were mentioned in RO "implementation" decision, even tho these were required by remand.
My question: Should I ask the VA to cue themselves, or just a NOD, or Writ of Mandamus??
Stegall vs West, says it this way:
The Court has held that a remand by the Board confers on the
veteran, as a matter of law, the right to compliance with the
remand order, and it imposes on VA a concomitant duty to
ensure compliance with the terms of the remand. The failure
to comply (or substantially comply) with the Board's prior
remand directives and to ensure the VA examiner answers the
medical questions posed in the earlier remand constitutes a
violation of the veteran's due process rights.
See Stegall v. West, 11 Vet. App. 268 (1998); Dyment v. West,
13 Vet. App. 141, 146-47 (1999).
