The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its
regulations governing the representation of claimants for veterans
benefits in order to implement provisions of the Veterans Benefits,
Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006, and to reorganize
and clarify existing regulations. The proposed regulations would
establish the procedures and rules necessary for VA to facilitate the
paid representation of claimants by accredited agents and attorneys
after a notice of disagreement has been filed with respect to a case.
The intended effect of these regulations is to fulfill Congress'
direction that agents and attorneys may be paid for services rendered
after a notice of disagreement is filed with respect to a decision by
an agency of original jurisdiction while ensuring that claimants for
veterans benefits have responsible qualified representation in the
preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims for veterans
benefits.
