Veterans Consortium

If you have a denial from the Board of Veterans Appeals, you have 120 days to appeal that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

Here at The Veterans Consortium, we can help with your appeal to the Court. We will review your case and provide you with a free attorney if you meet 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,
• We find at least one meritorious issue we can argue before the Court.

Remember, you only have 120 days to appeal a denial from the BVA. See below for more information on appealing to the Court.
