CAVC Rule of Practice and Procedure

The CAVC Rule of Practice and Procedure refers to the set of official guidelines that govern how cases are managed in the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC). These rules specify how veterans, service members, or their representatives should file documents, submit evidence, and present arguments. They ensure that proceedings are fair, organized, and efficient, providing clarity on deadlines, formats, and procedures for appeals related to veterans’ benefits. Essentially, they are the “rules of the road” for navigating the appeals process in this specialized court.
