Ease of use
A search box, then the decision
Write the issue in plain words. Narrow by date, series, judge, and attorney. The list updates as you type, and you open a decision from that list.
VA Case Search
AI-powered search across Board decisions, using natural language.
Describe the issue in your own words. The search returns Board decisions you can open and read, so you spend less time working through orders one by one.
VA Case Search is not a Department of Veterans Affairs or Board of Veterans' Appeals product. It does not file a claim, and it does not promise a decision or a compensation result.
Made for everyday research
Easy to use, less time in the orders, and a large library already loaded.
Time saved
Less time in the orders
Finding a similar grant usually means reading decision after decision. Search does that reading with you. When you want a closer pass, select issues and compare them with granted decisions. You still review what comes back.
Research library
About 63,505 decisions
The library is the public Board set from October 24, 2025 through July 30, 2026. You search that set after you sign in.

Decision search
Search the loaded Board library. Filters narrow the list, and results update as you type.
Health records
Keep health-record volumes with your account and review the files you add.
Claim draft
Start a draft from one volume when you want one. You review it. It is not legal advice, and it is not a Board decision.

Proprietary AI tools
