This document adopts as a final rule the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) proposal to amend its regulations on adjudication of VA benefit claims, representation of claimants, and the Board of Veterans' Appeals rules of practice. Specifically, these amendments implement section 212 of the Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2008, which allows an eligible survivor to substitute for a deceased claimant in the decedent's pending claim or appeal of a decision on a claim. This final rule addresses eligibility for substitution and the procedures applicable to requests to substitute in a claim that is pending before a VA agency of original jurisdiction or an appeal that is pending before the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
