New schema — VA Form 10-0998

Summary

This schema covers VA Form 10-0998, the VA Health Care Benefits Decision Notice appeal form. The schema defines structured validation for claimant-driven appeal submissions, with the following key characteristics:

• Claimant type routing: A claimantType enum (veteran-beneficiary-payer, provider-not-under-contract, provider-under-contract) drives all conditional screen routing in the form experience. This field is central to the schema's conditional logic and should be treated as effectively required.
• Date definitions: Two reusable date definitions are provided — date (ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD) and nullableDate (nullable ISO 8601), both using JSON Schema format: date for validation.
• Definition references: Shared field types are composed via $ref using a buildDefinitionReference helper, consistent with patterns used across the vets-json-schema repository.
• Strict object shape: additionalProperties: false is enforced at the root level, ensuring only declared fields are accepted.

Notes for reviewer

• Please ensure you have incremented the version in package.json
• Please add backend-review-group as a reviewer
• The claimantType field drives conditional routing for all three claimant paths; please verify that any conditional required fields downstream of this value are correctly gated in the schema or documented as handled at the application layer.
• nullableDate allows null in addition to a valid date string — confirm this is intentional for optional date fields (e.g., decision notice date may be unknown at submission time).
• The schema uses draft-04 — confirm this is consistent with the consuming application's validator version before merging.
• No required array is visible in the artifact summary snippet; please confirm the full schema includes required field declarations at the root and nested object levels as appropriate.
