Established by Executive Order on July 28, 1933, it determines whether U.S. military veterans are entitled to claimed veterans' benefits and services. The Board's mission is to conduct hearings and decide appeals properly before the Board in a timely manner.

In Fiscal Year 2020, the Board issued over 102,000 decisions, surpassing the records set in FY 2018 and 2019 for Veterans and their families, which is the highest number of decisions issued by the Board since the 1988 enactment of the Veterans' Judicial Review Act (VJRA), which established the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC). The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 total of 85,288 decisions is a 62% increase over the FY 17 total of 52,537. Additionally, the Board held 16,422 hearings. The Board continued its improved output and hearings in 2019, 2020, and 2021 - nearly doubling the number of decisions held in 4 years' time -increasing decisions issued to more than 100,000 and hearings held to over 23,000. Additionally, the Board implemented innovative changes ranging from the Interactive Decision Template tool to Virtual Tele-hearing opportunities using cell phones. The Board began a strong recruitment of veterans and military spouses across several positions to include Veterans Law Judges, attorneys, and administrative and operations personnel to enhance and improve service to veterans and their families.
