Veterans Law Judge L.J. WELLS-GREEN
Issue-level outcome statistics computed from the full text of 31 public
Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions signed by VLJ L.J. WELLS-GREEN in the corpus slice below.
What this is computed from: 1,465,327 Board decisions
(3,295,213 individual issues) dated 2004-01-09 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.
99,710 decisions our parser could not fully classify are excluded from rate math.
Data build: 2026-08-29.

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.
