Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the Veterans' Judicial Review Act (VJRA) bar judicial review of procedural due process and Administrative Procedure Act (APA) violations by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)?

Can the APA and the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause provide judicial review for the VA's procedural violations, including falsification of documents?

Did the Court of Appeals err in affirming dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, depriving the petitioner of a remedy for the VA's statutory and procedural violations?
