Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Time limits within which claimants ... are required to act to perfect a claim or challenge an adverse VA decision may be extended for good cause shown. Where an extension is requested after expiration of a time limit, the action required of the claimant ... must be taken concurrent with or prior to the filing of a request for extension of the time limit, and good cause must be shown as to why the required action could not have been taken during the original time period and could not have been taken sooner than it was. Denials of time limit extensions are separately appealable issues.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Mason v. Brown“[F]ailure to file a timely [substantive] Appeal does not automatically foreclose an appeal, render a claim final, or deprive the BVA of jurisdiction. Statutory section 7105(d)(3) and regulation [§ 20.-302(b) ] provide that an RO may close an appeal for failure to respond to the SOC. However, the statute and regulations do not require an RO to close a claim in that situation; nor do they provide that the claim will become final if the claimant fails to file a timely [substantive] Appeal.”
