The Board composition and procedures are governed by 38 U.S.C. This diversity strengthens the Board and enable us to better serve our constituency. The Board increased its staff to include Veterans Law Judges, attorneys, and administrative and operational personnel, recruiting and hiring widely diverse, bringing together different backgrounds, education, experience, ideas, and perspectives to include Veterans, military spouses and family members, caregivers, survivors, first generation Americans, and LGBTQ+ members. To address the growing number of appeals, the Board, over the past 5 years, has grown from approximately 800 to about 1200 personnel and we are still growing thanks to the continued investment of the Department and Congress. The Board is comprised of a Chairman, Vice Chairman, and such number of Veterans Law Judges/Board members as necessary to meet the Board's mission to conduct hearings and dispose of appeals properly before the Board in a timely manner. The Board was charged "to provide every possible assistance" to claimants and to take final action that would "be fair to the veteran as well as the Government." The Board continues to meet this charge. The Board was delegated the authority to render the final decisions on appeal for the Administrator (now Secretary) and was directly responsible to the Administrator (Secretary). Roosevelt created the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) by Executive Order 6230, Veterans Regulation No.
