The Veteran Appeals Transparency Act of 2025 aims to enhance transparency within the Board of Veterans' Appeals by requiring the online publication of its docket activity. Specifically, it mandates that the Board, on a weekly basis, publish on a Department website the docket dates of cases assigned to a Board member for a decision during that particular week. This new requirement, which amends title 38 of the United States Code, includes a crucial clarification: the published notice must explicitly state that an assignment does not obligate the Board to issue a decision on the case within that same week. Furthermore, the publication requirement does not apply to cases that have been advanced for expedited review or those that have been remanded by the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims , ensuring focus on standard appeal processing.
