Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) Video Hearings

Considering an optional BVA hearing? Minimize travel and maximize convenience with a live Video Hearing before a Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) Veterans Law Judge. Now there are more than 65 VA Regional facilities that use state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment to host live Video Hearings between you (and your representative, if you have one) and a Veterans Law Judge in Washington, D.C. Best of all, statistics show that Video Hearings have the same grant rate as in-person hearings. Note: All Board hearings are entirely optional and are not required to adjudicate your appeal.

CHAMPVA Program

The CHAMPVA program provides reimbursement for most medical expenses of eligible family members. To be eligible for CHAMPVA, you cannot be eligible for TRICARE/CHAMPUS and you must be in one of three specific categories. In general the CHAMPVA program covers most health care services and supplies that are medically and psychologically necessary. Upon confirmation of eligibility, you will receive program material that specifically addresses covered and noncovered services and supplies in the form of a CHAMPVA handbook.
