Principi- and also Tetro V Principi It is all at the old hadit -we had quite a discussion as I recall- Berta, I am reading about "grave procedural error" today - as it is part of my recent NOD. Grave Procedural Error may be argued, but it will not reverse the finality of a VA decision. It's tricky, sticky nomenclature - and I wish I had used some other term like "gross errors". ~Wings . . . the Federal Circuit has made it clear that "grave procedural error" is no longer a viable option for overcoming the finality of a prior decision. See Cook, 318 F.3d at 1341 (overruling Hayre to extent that it created additional exception to rule of finality applicable to VA decisions by reason of "grave procedural error ").

foreveryoung Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 So the only way to appeal a final BVA decision is CUE, or can Grave Administrative Error still be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Wings Posted September 30, 2005 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 30, 2005 I made the mistake of calling their errors "grave" and "grievous". And, found their errors to be both administrative (regulations) and procedural (law). So, unless I am ready for a CUE attack, I'll just choose to use different adjectives ....

Guest Jim S. Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I may be mistaken, but as I read the ruling, grave or grevious procedural error can only be used in claims that are not final. Say you have three specific items for which you are claiming disability for, two of the items were ruled on, but were mute on the third one. Somehow this slips your mind and a year goes by. You decide to reopen your claim, but when you review your records, you see that the VARO failed to adjudicate on the third item. This part of your claim remains open since the VARO failed to adjudicate on the third item their by making a grave procedural error. I hope this makes since. Jim S.
