The US Supreme court cases involving Veterans law are always important.
Two of these seem to be significant:
1. George vs McDonough
The Supreme Court has granted the petition, (Writ of Certiorari), which means Scotus has agreed to hear this case. (Scotus only agrees to hear a very small portion of cases presented).
2. Blanton Vs. McDonough. Go Ken Carpenter, who alleges that VA's CUE standard, found in Cook, is too restrictive, and inconsistent with Congress Intent to make VA benefits a "pro claimant non adversarial system". Mr. Carpenter suggests that VA makes errors, and the Veteran needs a way to correct said errors, and the Federal Circuit's CUE standards are in error, inconsistent with congress intent.

I was unable to find out if Blanton Writ of Certiorari petition was granted, but, its possible that the above cases were merged, as both involve CUE. Thanks Berta, for this Scotus case!

@broncovet Thanks for posting this. I actually won a CUE early last year similar to the first case. The VA reduced an initial rating due to aggravation by 10% just because the C&P doctor said
