VALORDB — Veterans Appeals Library & Outcomes Research is a research instrument for the published decisions of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA), wired together with the primary law that governs them (Title 38 of the U.S. Code and the Code of Federal Regulations).
It exists to answer a question the official tools answer poorly: what has the Board actually done — by condition, representation, regional office, judge, year, and disposition — and what rule did it turn on. Black-letter regulation next to empirical outcome.
All source material is public record from primary government sources:
| Source | What | Provenance |
|---|---|---|
| Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions | ~1.86M decisions, 1992–present | VA's official decision sitemaps (va.gov) |
| 38 CFR (regulations) | Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations | eCFR (ecfr.gov) — authoritative, dated |
| 38 U.S.C. (statutes) | Title 38 United States Code | Office of Law Revision Counsel / govinfo |
Regulations are stamped with the effective date they were current as of, and the law store is re-ingested on a schedule, because Title 38 changes (the AMA appeals overhaul, PACT Act presumptions, rolling amendments).
VALORDB is a research and information tool. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and is not a substitute for an accredited representative or attorney. See the Terms.
