Hearings on reconsideration.","body":"After a motion for reconsideration has been allowed, a hearing will be granted if the issue under reconsideration was considered on a docket for cases that may include a hearing, and an appellant requests a hearing before the Board. The hearing will be held by a Member or Members assigned to the reconsideration panel. A hearing will not normally be scheduled solely for the purpose of receiving argument by a representative. Such argument should be submitted in the form of a written brief. Requests for appearances by representatives alone to personally present argument to a Member or panel of Members of the Board may be granted if good cause is shown. Whether good cause has been shown will be determined by the presiding Member.","path":["Title 38—Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief","CHAPTER I—DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS","PART 20—BOARD OF VETERANS' APPEALS: RULES OF PRACTICE","Subpart K—Vacatur and Reconsideration"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-38.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:50Z","sha256":"5c0eda8427a35c1835f7faa3a30c1dd86d07e5adf58df1669c2590281d925db5","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/38-cfr-20.1002","next":"us/38-cfr-20.1004"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
