Board of Veterans' Appeals

The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) is a part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that reviews decisions made by regional VA offices regarding veterans' benefits. When a veteran disagrees with a decision, such as denied disability benefits or compensation, they can appeal to the BVA. The Board examines the case, including evidence and any legal arguments, and then issues a decision that can either uphold, reverse, or remand the previous ruling. The BVA's primary goal is to ensure that veterans receive the benefits they deserve based on their service to the country.
