Veterans Affairs discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Veterans Affairs's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the Board that decides appeals from VA benefit and service decisions on behalf of the Secretary, conducting hearings and adjudicating appeals involving compensation, pension, education, and health care for Veterans, their dependents, and survivors.
Extracted from Veterans Affairs Programs, p. 78. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
22 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
