Veterans and benefits in Arkansas
About 203,000 veterans live in Arkansas, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 67,989 veterans in Arkansas received VA disability compensation at the end of fiscal year 2025. VA does not publish very small county counts, so the true number is a little higher.
That works out to about one accredited attorney or claims agent for every 920 people in Arkansas receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Where Arkansas claims are worked
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Arkansas address: 8,380 claims pending, 11.0 percent pending more than 125 days.

Little Rock regional office: 1,917 claims pending, 16.5 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 78.4 days pending.
VA moves claims between offices, so an office's queue can include claims from other states.
Board hearings are mostly virtual, so an attorney does not need to be local.

What decides Board appeals
Claim Raven's national analysis covers 101,518 condition decisions in 49,876 appeals: 29.5 percent granted, 40.8 percent denied, and 26.6 percent remanded. These are appealed cases, not initial VA claims.
Where the Board rated the medical link, grant shares were 89.7 percent when strong, 3.7 percent when weak, and 1.6 percent when missing. Grant shares were 16.7 percent with one kind of evidence and 56.9 percent with six or more kinds of evidence, among the 80,128 condition decisions where evidence types were identified.
