BVA Structured Decisions (2019–2025)

Structured, issue-level records extracted from U.S. Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) decisions — each decision parsed into its issues, conditions, outcomes, citations, and reasoning, with per-document provenance and completeness flags. Built for training and evaluating legal-AI models on veterans' disability adjudication.

This is a 5600-decision sample, balanced across seven years (2019–2025, ~800 decisions/year), so it's representative of the full corpus rather than skewed to one year. A larger full-corpus release and a commercial license are available (see Access & licensing below).

Honesty note (please read). Labels are silver (engine-produced, benchmarked against an LLM-labeled reference at ~96% outcome accuracy), not human-certified gold. Provenance and completeness ship with every row so you can verify and filter. See Quality & accuracy.


What's in it

Decisions 5600
Years 2019–2025 (~800 per year, balanced)
Format CSV (one row per decision) — 23 columns
Coverage 99% of rows carry extracted issues and citations; 96% carry reasoning atoms
Source Public BVA decisions published on va.gov

Outcome distribution (decision-level)

remanded 1,539 · denied 1,103 · granted 973 · dismissed 253 · reopened 68 · withdrawn 3

Appeals regime

legacy 1,083 · AMA 60 · unknown 1,762 (tagged from the decision text, not the year).

Conditions

107 distinct medical conditions. Top: back disability (490), knee disability (438), hearing loss (341), arthritis (302), psychiatric disorder (289), PTSD (287), peripheral neuropathy (272), sleep apnea (212), hypertension (195), foot disability (177).


Column dictionary

Column Description
doc_id BVA citation/docket number (the 2-digit prefix is the fiscal year).
source_url Link to the original decision on va.gov for independent verification.
schema Extraction schema used (bva).
issues The appealed issues (pipe-separated).
conditions / conditions_raw / conditions_detailed / condition_other Canonical condition tokens, raw phrasing, laterality/qualifiers, and an out-of-vocabulary flag.
outcomes Decision-level dispositions (granted / denied / remanded / dismissed / reopened / withdrawn).
outcome_by_issue Each issue tied to its own outcome (the core training unit).
reasoning_by_issue Per-issue reasoning atoms (the "why").
reasoning_completeness full / partial / none — quality tier for self-selecting a clean slice.
reasoning_unfillable True when the source letter has no reasoning at all (so none is expected).
regime / ama_docket Legacy vs. Appeals-Modernization-Act regime + AMA docket flag.
citations Statutory/regulatory citations (38 U.S.C. / 38 C.F.R.), normalized and deduped.
evidence Evidence types referenced (VA exam, private opinion, lay statement, etc.).
reasoning_atoms Canonical reasoning findings (nexus established/not, benefit-of-doubt, duty-to-assist, etc.).
judge_dates Decision date + Veterans Law Judge.
signals_extracted / matrix_cells_used / avg_route_score / char_length Extraction telemetry + raw length.

Why it's useful

  • Issue-level supervision. outcome_by_issue and reasoning_by_issue link each appealed issue to its disposition and rationale — not just a document-level label.
  • Trainable + filterable. Completeness tiers let you train on the clean full slice or use everything; regime lets you separate legacy vs. AMA.
  • Verifiable. Every row carries a source_url back to the public original.
  • Representative. Balanced across 2019–2025, so temporal/longitudinal splits are honest.

Intended uses: training/evaluating models for claim-outcome prediction, issue and citation extraction, legal RAG over veterans' law, and fine-tuning assistants for BVA practice.


Quality & accuracy (read before you rely on it)

  • Silver, not gold. Records are produced by a deterministic extraction engine and benchmarked against an LLM-labeled reference at ~96% outcome-extraction accuracy (measured on 2019 issues). Human-verified gold validation is in progress and not yet reflected here.
  • What's well-covered: issues, conditions, outcomes, citations, and reasoning atoms (96–99% of rows populated).
  • Known limits: the none/partial reasoning rows are recoverable gaps, not curated blanks; regime is unknown for many rows where the text doesn't clearly signal it; condition extraction follows a controlled vocabulary (107 tokens) with an condition_other flag for the long tail.

Treat the accuracy figure as a silver benchmark, and verify against source_url for any high-stakes use.


Provenance, PII & ethics

  • Source: BVA decisions are U.S. federal records, published publicly on va.gov. The underlying text is public domain (17 U.S.C. §105); the structured layer (this dataset's value-add) is what the license below covers.
  • PII: BVA publishes decisions with appellants de-identified (referred to as "the Veteran"/initials). This release was screened with an automated PII gate (blocks SSN/phone/email/DOB/address). It may still contain incidental names (e.g., judges, place names) inherent to public legal text — review before any redistribution.
  • Not legal advice. This is research/ML data about adjudication patterns, not guidance for any individual claim.

Access & licensing

  • License: CC BY-NC 4.0 — free to use for research and non-commercial purposes, with attribution. The raw decision text is public domain; the NC term applies to the structured annotations in this dataset.
  • Commercial use / full corpus: the full multi-year corpus (and a commercial license) are available separately. Contact the maintainer to license it for commercial use.
