Veteran Appeals Transparency Act of 2025

This proposal would make the VA’s Board of Veterans’ Appeals post, every week, a public list showing the docket dates of appeal cases that have been assigned to a board member to work on that week, improving transparency for veterans and families following an appeal . The weekly notice must also say that being on the list does not guarantee a decision that week .

• Who is affected: Veterans and survivors with appeals at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.
• What changes: The Board must publish, online, a weekly notice with the docket dates for cases assigned to a board member that week, along with a clear statement that an assignment isn’t a promise of a decision that week .
• What’s excluded: Cases that are sped up (advanced on the docket) or cases sent back by the Veterans Claims court are not included in the weekly list.
• When: The updates are posted every week .
