These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 73 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, except as provided in sections 445 and 817 of this title [exceptions relating to insurance], the decisions of the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs on any question of law or fact concerning a claim for benefits or payments under any Act administered by the Veterans' Administration shall be final and conclusive and no other official or any court of the United States shall have power or jurisdiction to review any such decisions.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The decree annuling Mrs. Hahn’s second marriage, by its very terms, merely dissolved the marriage ‘heretofore existing’ between the parties; it did not purport to render the marriage void from its very inception. Moreover, that decree did not become effective until three months after it was handed down. The only possible conclusion is that Mrs. Hahn was legally remarried for some period of time; namely, from the date of the ceremony until three months after entry of the annulment decree.””
