(a)(1) The Board may review your claim if the administrative law judge made a decision under §§405.340 or 405.370 of this part, regardless of whether the administrative law judge's decision was unfavorable, partially favorable, or wholly favorable to you.

(2) Claims the Board will review may include those where there is an increased likelihood of error or that involve the application of new policies, rules, or procedures. The Board will review both allowances and denials of benefits. It will not review claims based on the identity of the administrative law judge who decided the claim.

(b)(1) The Board may reopen claims under subpart G of this part without regard to the time limits therein, if, in the view of our effectuating component, the administrative law judge's decision cannot be effectuated because it contains a clerical error affecting the outcome of the claim, the decision is clearly inconsistent with the Act or our regulations, or the decision is unclear regarding a matter that affects the outcome of the claim.

(2) If the Board reopens your claim, it will do so no later than 60 days from the date of the administrative law judge's decision.
