That was not how I read initial reports about the rule change, but if you are correct, then my opinion of he rule would change. If the purpose of the rule is to protect the claimant, I fail to see the logic of depriving him or her of the option to void the claim (and instead automatically voiding the claim). I have seen occasions where a horse was put on the vet's list and there was nothing wrong with the horse.
