United States Federal Circuit

The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) correctly determined that the stipulation set forth in Nehmer v. United States Veterans' Administration, No. CV-86-6160 (1991), governed an award date for dependency and indemnity compensation, and the CAVC did not err as a matter of law in its interpretation of that stipulation.
