The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC), often referred to as VetApp, is where veterans can appeal unfavorable decisions from the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA). Many veterans don’t realize this option exists—or they feel overwhelmed by the idea of taking their case to a federal court.
A VetApp case search is how attorneys and advocates review past cases to see how the court has ruled on issues similar to yours. These cases can shape how the law is applied and often highlight mistakes made by the VA or BVA in denying benefits. For example, past cases have clarified how PTSD claims should be evaluated or how the VA must handle evidence of toxic exposure.
While veterans can technically represent themselves at the CAVC, it’s a specialized federal court with its own rules and procedures. Having experienced legal representation can make the difference between success and failure. Our firm uses VetApp case law to strengthen appeals, making sure your claim is supported by legal precedent, not just medical evidence.
