Title 38Veterans' Benefits·Ch. 72 — UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR VETERANS CLAIMS·Subch. II
(a)The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims may impose a fee of not more than $50 for the filing of any appeal with the Court.

A decision as to such a waiver is final and may not be reviewed in any other court.
(b)The Court may from time to time adjust the maximum amount permitted for a fee imposed under subsection (a) of this section based upon inflation and similar fees charged by other courts established under Article I of the Constitution.
