1Opinion of the Court
FRIEDMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
In this appeal a veteran challenges the refusal of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans Court”) to issue a writ of mandamus. In his underlying case the veteran seeks an earlier date for the start of disability benefits than the Department of Veterans Affairs (“Department”) provided. He seeks mandamus to prohibit the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (“Board”) from remanding his case to the Department’s Regional Office to determine initially whether he is entitled to the earlier commencement of benefits. We affirm.
