Reduce the backlog of pending disability claims for military veterans at the Board of Veterans Appeals.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Veterans Appeals Efficiency Act of 2025?
The Veterans Appeals Efficiency Act of 2025, known as H.R. 3835, remains in the House Committee on Veterans Affairs following a subcommittee hearing on June 23, 2025. The committee members must now decide whether to advance the bill to a full vote, but the primary constraint is that most legislation fails to move past the committee stage. Given that no action has occurred on this specific bill since June 23, 2025, the effort faces the same historical hurdle that stops the vast majority of congressional proposals.
