The filing fee is $50, but it can be waived for financial hardship. Legal representation costs vary, and some attorneys may work on a contingency basis.

While not required, having a lawyer is recommended due to the legal complexity. Free or low-cost representation may be available through veterans’ service organizations or pro bono attorneys.

The BVA reviews VA decisions on claims, while the CAVC reviews BVA decisions to ensure they comply with the law.
