Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA)

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 benefits and services for veterans. If a veteran disagrees with a decision, such as a denial of disability compensation, they can appeal to the BVA. The Board assesses the evidence and makes a final decision on the appeal, which can uphold, change, or overturn the original ruling. The BVA plays a crucial role in ensuring veterans receive fair treatment and the benefits they deserve for their service.
