In Bufkin v. Collins, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that courts must defer to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) unless there is a clear error in its decisions. This weakens the long-standing “benefit-of-the-doubt” rule, which previously helped veterans win cases when evidence was closely balanced. The ruling makes it harder for veterans to challenge VA denials, even when the evidence supporting their claims is nearly equal.
