Appealing Your Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) Decision

If you have received an unfavorable decision (denial) from the Board of Veterans Appeals, or if you need help with a discharge upgrade, you might get free help from the Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program. If you apply, they may review your case and provide you with a free attorney if you meet all of the following criteria:

• You are a veteran (or qualifying family member of a veteran); 
• You have received a denial from the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA); 
• You do not have an attorney to help you; and, 
• They find at least one meritorious issue to argue before the Court.

Nothing in life is guaranteed, but you can apply to try here.
