            TITLE 38--PENSIONS, BONUSES, AND VETERANS' RELIEF
 
          CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (CONTINUED)
 
PART 20--BOARD OF VETERANS' APPEALS: RULES OF PRACTICE--Table of Contents
 
                        Subpart G--Representation
 
Sec. 20.607  Rule 607. Revocation of a representative's authority to act.

    Subject to the provisions of Sec. 20.1304 of this part, an appellant 
may revoke a representative's authority to act on his or her behalf at 
any time, irrespective of whether another representative is concurrently 
designated. Written notice of the revocation must be given to the agency 
of original jurisdiction or, if the appellate record has been certified 
to the Board for review, to the Board of Veterans' Appeals. The 
revocation is effective when notice of the revocation is received by the 
agency of original jurisdiction or the Board, as applicable. An 
appropriate designation of a new representative will automatically 
revoke any prior designation of representation. If an appellant has 
limited a designation of representation by an attorney-at-law to a 
specific claim under the provisions of Rule 603, paragraph (a) 
(Sec. 20.603(a) of this part), or has limited a designation of 
representation by an individual to a specific claim under the provisions 
of Rule 605, paragraph (c) (Sec. 20.605(c) of this part), such specific 
authority constitutes a revocation of an existing representative's 
authority to act only with respect to, and during the pendency of, that 
specific claim. Following the final determination of that claim, the 
existing representative's authority to act will be automatically 
restored in full, unless otherwise revoked.
