Board of Veterans Appeals Annual Report Transparency Act of 2025
This bill requires the Board of Veterans Appeals to annually report on factors causing delays in resolving veterans' appeals and cases sent back for more review (remands). Specifically, it mandates the Board's Chairman to identify, for both new and legacy appeal systems, the specific causes of untimely case resolutions and remands, including the number and percentage of cases affected by each factor. The report must cover cases pending under the new appeals system (since 2017) and all cases remanded during the year. This transparency measure directly affects veterans with pending appeals by making the reasons for delays and remands publicly documented.
