BVA AMA Decisions — Structured (A-prefix)
Structured annotations over 5,990 U.S. Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA)
decisions issued under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) — the modernized
appeals system that replaced the legacy process. Every record is an A-prefix
docket decision (A21……), so this is a 100% AMA corpus: the part of the
BVA record that the standard academic/legacy datasets do not cover.
Why this dataset is different
The widely-used BVA legal-NLP datasets are built on the legacy appeals system. AMA decisions use a different docket scheme (A-prefix IDs) and a structure the legacy system never had — most importantly the review lane the veteran selected. This dataset captures that:
ama_docket— the AMA review lane, present on 77% of decisions:direct_review— 3,061 (51%)hearing— 864 (14%)evidence_submission— 737 (12%)- (not stated in the decision text) — 1,328 (22%)
This lane choice exists only in the AMA system and is not available in legacy corpora.
What's in it
- Decisions: 5,990 (one row each), all
regime = ama, all A-prefix dockets - Outcomes (notably balanced — an AMA signal): remanded 2,246 · denied 2,217 · granted 2,171 · dismissed 779 · reopened 12 · withdrawn 7. Unlike the legacy corpus (heavily remand-dominated), the modernized lanes produce far more final grants/denials — a real structural difference, not a relabel.
- Conditions: musculoskeletal (back, knee), sensory/neurological (hearing loss, tinnitus, peripheral neuropathy), and psychiatric (PTSD) lead, as in the broader BVA record.

Provenance, license & accuracy
- Source: va.gov BVA decisions — works of the U.S. government, in the
public domain. Every row links to its
source_urlfor independent verification; the A-prefixdoc_idis the AMA docket identity. - Scope note: this release is the 2021-docketed (A21) AMA cohort. AMA decisions of other docket years exist and can be added; this set stands on its own as a complete A21 corpus.
- License: annotations and structured compilation © the author, released under CC-BY-NC-4.0 (free for research/non-commercial use; contact for commercial licensing). The underlying decisions are public domain.
- Accuracy: high-quality machine annotations (extraction benchmarked at ~96% on a silver/LLM-labeled set; human gold verification ongoing). Treat as training data, not certified ground truth. No guaranteed predictions — outcomes are historical extractions, not forecasts.
Intended use
Training and evaluating legal extraction and outcome models on the modernized (AMA) appeals system specifically, AMA-vs-legacy comparison, docket-lane analysis, and veterans-claims tooling built for the current appeals regime.
