BVA Appeal Data
RateMyVSO analyzed 180,767 Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions published between 2023 and 2026 to help veterans understand what happens when claims are appealed.
What Is This Data?
Every decision issued by the Board of Veterans' Appeals is published publicly on va.gov. We downloaded all 180,767 decisions from 2023 through early 2026 and extracted structured data from each one — outcomes, diagnostic codes, judge names, rating changes, hearing information, evidence adequacy findings, and more.
The goal is simple: help veterans make informed decisions about their claims and appeals by showing them what actually happens at the Board — not speculation, not anecdotes, but real data from hundreds of thousands of published decisions.
All data is from publicly available BVA decisions. This is for educational purposes only and is not legal advice. Individual outcomes depend on your specific evidence and circumstances.
