What this is computed from: 1,340,998 Board decisions (3,086,734 individual issues) dated 2007-06-01 to 2026-04-30, parsed from the public BVA decision archive at va.gov. Corpus ingest is in progress — the full 1992–2026 archive (~1.9M decisions) is being added, newest year first, so recent years are over-represented right now. Totals that blend all years therefore drift as older years land; the per-year table is the stable view. Rates are issue-level: one appeal often decides several issues, and the Board's own reporting cautions that per-decision rates overstate grant rates. 82,386 decisions our parser could not fully classify are excluded from rate math. Data build: 2026-08-28.

Docket mix drives outcome rates: judges deciding more increased-rating appeals (where partial grants are common) will look different from judges deciding more service-connection appeals. Compare a judge against the Board-wide issue-level baseline before reading anything into a single rate.
