United States Federal Circuit
Hillyard v. Shinseki, 11-7157
In a veteran's second request for revision following the Veterans Administration's denial of his claim for service connection for a mental injury, the judgment of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims upholding the Board of Veterans Appeals' dismissal is affirmed, as the interpretation of 38 C.F.R. section 1409(c) proffered by the VA is consistent with the language of the regulation and is in harmony with the VA's description of the regulation in its notice of rulemaking.
