      Before MAYER, Circuit Judge, PLAGER, Senior Circuit Judge, and LOURIE, Circuit Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

Willie H. Williams appeals the November 30, 2006, decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Veterans Court). That decision affirmed an April 24, 2004, decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals that there was no clear and unmistakable error in a 1962 rating decision denying Mr. Williams service connection for a psychiatric disability. We dismiss the appeal.

On appeal, Mr. Williams argues that the Veterans Court misinterpreted 38 U.S.C. § 1111, which establishes a presumption that a veteran was in sound condition when he entered service. Specifically, Mr. Williams contends that the Veterans Court improperly accepted a service department medical record finding as sufficient to rebut the presumption of soundness under § 1111. While he couches his argument as a challenge to the Veterans Court’s interpretation of a statute, Mr. Williams is actually challenging the Veterans Court’s factual finding that the evidence of record was adequate to rebut the presumption of soundness. Because we may not review a challenge to a factual determination or a challenge to the application of law to facts, see 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2), we dismiss Mr. Williams’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

We have considered Mr. Williams’s other arguments and find them equally ineffective in invoking the jurisdiction of this court.
