Veterans Law Judge Roger K. Bauer
Issue-level outcome statistics computed from the full text of 41 public
Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions signed by VLJ Roger K. Bauer in the corpus slice below.
What this is computed from: 1,907,778 Board decisions
(3,857,279 individual issues) dated 1992-03-30 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.
245,725 decisions our parser could not fully classify are excluded from rate math.
Data build: 2026-09-02.

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.
