A VA disability case law search on Case Strategy Services queries CAVC, CAFC, OGC, 38 CFR, 38 U.S.C., and M21-1 at once, or one source at a time. Type the question the way it lives in your head. A doctrine, a citation, a fact pattern. No query syntax required.
Every result clears a relevance threshold before it reaches you. Weak matches are rejected outright rather than padded into the list. Results default to newest-decision-first, with a toggle back to strict relevance ranking when you want the closest match regardless of date.
What a search returns
- The case name, docket number, decision date, and judge, for every CAVC and CAFC result.
- The exact verbatim passage from the original opinion, regulation, or statute, not a summary standing in for it.
- A link to the source document so you can verify the holding directly against the primary text.
Nothing is generated without a source document. If a passage is not in the indexed archive, it cannot appear in your results. Case Strategy Services does not paraphrase or synthesize case holdings from memory.
Who it is built for
Case Strategy Services is built for VA-accredited attorneys, accredited claims agents, and VA-recognized VSO representatives working veterans disability matters. Every individual user must independently qualify as VA-accredited; the tool is not a general-purpose legal research product repurposed for VA practice.
Coverage
The archive spans CAVC single-judge and panel opinions, CAFC opinions arising from CAVC appeals (precedential and non-precedential, tagged separately), OGC precedential opinions, the current text of 38 CFR and 38 U.S.C., and the VA M21-1 Adjudication Procedures Manual. Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions are not indexed for search; VA's own public BVA search is linked from within the app instead.
Run a VA disability case law search against six sources of real, source-linked authority. Every result quotes the actual text.
