VA appeals board would report why veterans' cases are delayed or sent back.
This bill would make the Board of Veterans' Appeals report why some veterans' appeals take too long or get sent back for more work. This change aims to bring more transparency to the appeals process. It could indirectly help veterans by leading to improvements that reduce future delays.
Today, the Board of Veterans' Appeals submits an annual report to Congress, but it doesn't have to explain why appeals are delayed or sent back. If this bill becomes law, the Board would have to include specific reasons for these issues in its report. It would also need to include the number and percentage of cases affected by each reason.
