PART 8_NATIONAL SERVICE LIFE INSURANCE--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  8.30  Appeal to Board of Veterans Appeals.

    (a) The provisions of Part 19 of this chapter will be followed in 
connection with appeals to the Board of Veterans Appeals involving 
questions pertaining to the denial of applications for insurance, total 
disability income provision, or reinstatement; disallowance of claims 
for insurance benefits; and decisions holding fraud or imposing 
forfeiture. Notice to the applicant or claimant and his representative, 
if any, of the right to appeal will be sent by the insurance activity 
having jurisdiction over the case, at time action of denial, 
disallowance, or forfeiture is taken.
    (b) When an appeal to the Board of Veterans Appeals is initiated by 
a notice of disagreement, any unpaid premiums, normally due under the 
policy from effective date of issue or reinstatement (as appropriate), 
will become an interest-bearing lien, enforceable as a legal debt due 
the United States and subject to all available collection procedures in 
the event of favorable action by the Board.
    (c) Where the adverse action from which appeal is taken involves a 
change in or addition to insurance currently in force, premium payments 
must be continued on the existing contract.
