            TITLE 38--PENSIONS, BONUSES, AND VETERANS' RELIEF
 
          CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (CONTINUED)
 
PART 19--BOARD OF VETERANS' APPEALS: APPEALS REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Subpart D--Hearings Before the Board of Veterans' Appeals at Department 
                  of Veterans Affairs Field Facilities
 
Sec. 19.76  Notice of time and place of hearing before the Board of 
Veterans' Appeals at Department of Veterans Affairs field facilities.

    The agency of original jurisdiction will notify the appellant and 
his or her representative of the place and time of a hearing before the 
Board of Veterans' Appeals at a Department of Veterans Affairs field 
facility not less than 30 days prior to the hearing date. This time 
limitation does not apply to hearings which have been rescheduled due to 
a postponement requested by an appellant, or on his or her behalf, or 
due to the prior failure of an appellant to appear at a scheduled 
hearing before the Board of Veterans' Appeals at a Department of 
Veterans Affairs field facility with good cause. The right to notice at 
least 30 days in advance will be deemed to have been waived if an 
appellant accepts an earlier hearing date due to the cancellation of 
another previously scheduled hearing.
