Annotated legislation
This section is currently under development. We are working on making available annotated versions of the Veterans Review and Appeal Board Act, the Pension Act, and the Veterans Well-being Act to help you better understand the Board's decision-making processes. The annotated Acts contain excerpts and summaries from decisions made by the Federal Courts as well as the Board and its predecessors. These annotations make the Acts easier to understand by highlighting certain issues that may arise during hearings as well as the nature and extent of the evidence required by the Board. They also identify some trends in the case law. Please check back again soon.
