Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill aims to increase transparency at the Board of Veterans' Appeals by requiring more detailed public reporting on how cases are handled. It requires the Board's annual report to identify specific factors causing delays when appeals are not resolved within required timeframes, including the number and percentage of cases affected by each factor. The bill also requires similar reporting on the reasons cases get sent back, or remanded, for further review. Additionally, it mandates that the Board publish weekly updates online showing which cases have been assigned to board members for decision, though this does not guarantee a decision will be issued that week. These changes primarily affect veterans with pending appeals and aim to give them, along with Congress and the public, better insight into processing delays within the veterans' appeals system.
