seventy four claim for depressive neurosis which remains pending because there was been no adjudication of that claim and the board used the implicit denial rule to suggest that the depressive arose this claim was that the diagnosis of the condition controls the nature of the claim that those cases were not about him first it's niall they were not trashed just some of the other opinions we had which seem to support the government's feel that even though this separate i'm certainly saying it doesn't apply in this case i believe across the board that that would be the case because of the v a s own regulations and not only at the regulation of three point one six zero but the regulation that requires notice to that adjudicated it is state discretionary determination based upon the adjudicator to determine whether or not the evidence does or does not raise that client's the critical distinction here is that in nine hundred seventy four mr which are in place which create a formal claim differently than they treat an informal like in an informal claim isn't treated by the v a under three point one five five currently and presumes that that claim will be form the problem with that notice is that it assumes that there is a remedy these of the appeal there is in this case no remedy available because the appeal took place prior to judicial review support of veterans appeals decision in this case was a nine hundred eighty five there would have been no appeal from that decision had he believed that they in fact if you thought he was on reasonable notice that his depressive disorder claim had been denied he had no ability to appeal that that was the end of the discussion procedurally in nineteen eighty five it was not until nine hundred eighty eight that judicial review was created so so i don't understand what way that makes any difference so if in fact this eighty five decision had but i was trying to respond to that portion of your question that dealt with the creation the purpose of the creation of the rule was to deal with notice and that the better it was not noticed that he is depressive neurosis climbing had been denied because in the first place there was never a decision for nine hundred seventy four until arguably nine hundred eighty five where we disagree that there was any decision because if you look at this at the board decision in one thousand nine hundred five clearly there a acknowledgment that he had a diagnosis of depressive neurosis and schizophrenia but there was never any discussion about one of those claimed work pending that those planes were being decided the issue was john i think you're starting to veer into a little bit of at least application a lot of facts when you're arguing about what the content of the eighty five notices than at the veterans court find that that supported application of the implicit denial of the are to the court did properly found as a matter of fact that it was implicitly denied here seems a step too far i'm not sure that's correct i believe under this case but this court's decision and morgan that is not a step too far that morgan says that when congress changed with respect i disagree i believe that this court  of rules were applied was in fact reviewable they found that they had jurisdiction to do that they did they affirm the decision below based upon the determination that was made by the lower court but i believe under will there's a difference between in life and formal coins what is the regulations that you're relying on that you sort of expect distinctions where do i find it in your it is not in our bereaved it is in the adam's case it's in the adam's case and the regulations read it last night it starts a paragraph and specifically refers to the regulation at thirty eight c f r three point one six and describe specifically what a pending claim means context of informal claimants imprecisely as opposed to the regulation that applies only to formal claims three point one six o c does not apply to informal claim is wrong when it either adams was wrong to the extent that it included in formal claims as a reference to three point one six of c there is no requirement to adjudicate an informal claim until that informal plain is in shouldn't consider it but in any event i will quote from this course decision in my row with which is a two thousand ton case this court said quote with regard to monroe's contention that implicit in our rule cannot apply to informal claims only to form a little fuzzy to me with this rule of law jurisdiction is what i think we have said at least in some cases that it allows us to review certain applications of law the court certainly has jurisdiction to consider whether the correct rule of law was used in a given case so here for example the court can look at whether or not in fact the correct rule of law that is the implicit in our rule was used but the court doesn't have jurisdiction to consider the actual application of that rule of law to the facts of the specific case so at least for purposes of this case you i think you would concede that we have jurisdiction to decide whether the implicit denial rule properly applies to formal claims but once expect them to read if it were decision which is a fairly technical document and determine that well even though it's only specifically addressing that claim it's also implicitly addressing this other claim and putting them all on and notice to appeal if they have to at risk of losing their right to appeal it seems kind of a difficult dr into a five well what this court and adam said is that implicit in our rule is really a balance and it's a balance between what was wrong with it well but the but that the test of the factors that this court used in afghanistan the veterans court used here go to that issue one of the factors is that we look to the are on the board decisions themselves would they put neurosis and schizophrenia the board in the r o here also listed the relevant medical records expressly discussed his various diagnoses including his diagnosis for some schizophrenia and depressive neurosis so those because his claims were were different but that's precisely what the what the rule is designed to address and adams in just a title two cases from this court both of those cases involved but for these reasons we respect request that the court dismissed mr cogburn claim regarding whether or not a reasonable person could understand that the claim was being denied and affirmed the veterans court decision and all other respects decision only explicitly denied another claim that was post traumatic stress disorder to permit mr cochran to do that the lower court said with no a file of the implicit denial rule but that's precisely what we're asking this court  as it relates to recognize legally recognized distinguished claims the deception here is both between formal and informal but also underdogs in efraim but tween depressive neurosis and post traumatic stress the difference between claims that even what is i'm sorry even if we recognise that there are two distinct clinicians if the board can conclude that there's so interrelated that this in both f rain and involves the veterans court relied on that same analysis that these conditions had overlapping symptomatology and therefore you should give the benefit if you will hold to the agency the benefit in this case should be given to the veteran and one of the reasons is that in this case chemical ignorantly asked is it an do it seems to me is to completely eliminate the implicit denial rule least with respect to formal clients and i think the government is right  him and that would require the v a to consider all of the evidence at no time did the v a ever consider mr desk hotels decision it remains pending as we assert that it
