In practical terms, this creates a 28-day window for the Department to provide notification showing that a particular decision is eligible for review by the Board.\n\n**Key takeaway:** The 28-day period provides a clear, fixed timeframe for administrative notifications regarding appeal rights to the Veterans' Review Board."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-period-to-show-decision-is-reviewable-by-veterans-review-board-instrument-2014","history":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-period-to-show-decision-is-reviewable-by-veterans-review-board-instrument-2014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-period-to-show-decision-is-reviewable-by-veterans-review-board-instrument-2014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-period-to-show-decision-is-reviewable-by-veterans-review-board-instrument-2014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-period-to-show-decision-is-reviewable-by-veterans-review-board-instrument-2014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-period-to-show-decision-is-reviewable-by-veterans-review-board-instrument-2014/documents"}}
