BVA decisions

Question

 

 

Hello and thanks to everyone on this site for all the info. I just faxed off my first

"implicit denial"  AND    38 CFR 3.156 (c)(2) claims . Thanks to the info on this site.

I have a bunch more of those to do.

 

My question is,  Can I use BVA decisions as evidence in my case?   I read some where that we can not

but yet the VA uses them as case law. That seems very one sided to me.

 

A little on my case.

 

SC Ulcerative Colitis for over 20 years .  I have used Prednisone a lot. Now my spine is

DDD bad. Common knowledge that Prednisone does this. Even the makers of Prednisone print

this as a side effect.  I have read BVA cases and sometimes they SC it and sometimes they don't,

these cases are the same as mine.   SC  Colitis + pred = bad back.

 

It would be nice to use the BVA cases that grant SC as evidence.

 

Thanks,

Big Nose

Berta cites BVA cases, but, officially, the CAVC only recognizes "panel" and "en banc" CAVC case law.  

Still what I recommend is to read the BVA case then cite the cavc case the BVA cited in their decision.
