Policy updates
- We reorganized Policy 01-08 as a framework for reconsiderations, reviews, and appeals. The updated policy clarifies criteria for when information is new evidence and establishes parameters to obtain information without unreasonable delay and submit within a time limit.
- We moved information from General Information document G-2 (The Review and Appeal Process) into the Policy Manual under a new application: Policy 01-08, Part II, Application 3 (Reviews and Appeals). As a result, we discontinued G-2 and updated existing cross references to G-2 in Policies 04-05, 06-03 and the Code of Rights and Conduct.
