VA has indicated that it may repeal a rule that says that Board hearing officers are not required to follow the same rules as regional office hearing officers. See 76 Fed. Reg. 52572 (Aug. 23, 2011). Until then, Board hearing officers are bound by one set of regulations, and regional office hearing officers are bound by a different set of regulations.
