It does not take long to familiarize yourself with their search feature.
I have been reading BVA decisions every week ever since they came on line.
None of these decisions are precedential.
However I used one or more for Legal issues in them to bolster some of my claims, and
used a medical hint from one of them to get a vet- years to BVA, CAVC, BVA , CAVCagain-
to finally win his claim ! Neither his vet rep not his vet lawyers ever read his last BVA decision. The medical hint was within the very first paragraph o the decision.
I used a legal statement from a past Moot BVA claim I had ( I won it at RO and never knew I should have withdraw the appeal at BVA)
to recover a FTCA offset and more importantly,
these decisions have helped many here with links I post- (I hope) to understand the way the BVA awards, denies or remands the claim.
I always seek decisions that are fairly recent, but sometimes we get questions here that involve me finding decisions based on VA case law etc , prevalent at time of the decision, and I seek those older BVA decisions, to find out what I need to find,
that could reveal basis for CUE or a 3.156 claim.
I have developed carpel tunnel from decades of typing and using power tools, weed wackers, etc and feel others should start using the BVA web site more to help others here.
(I have a program that will let me speak and then it types what I say but I have an accent and it will take time for me to get that all compatible- it isn't Dragon, it came with Windows 10.
(A well as the OGC precedent decisions and the US CAVC decisions- so helpful in understand the way BVA, CAVC and the OGC think.
