Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney Retention and Backlog Reduction Act

This bill allows non-supervisory attorneys working at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals to be promoted to the GS-15 federal pay grade, a higher level typically reserved for senior roles. It directly affects attorneys handling veterans' appeals cases by creating a clearer career path to advance within the Board. The key mechanism is amending federal law to add this specific promotion opportunity, aiming to improve retention of these attorneys. The goal is to reduce the backlog of veterans' appeals by making the position more attractive and stable.
