We review your VA medical records and claim history to find evidence that supports your disability claims. You get a clear report, a roadmap for next steps, and letter drafting when needed. We charge flat, affordable rates — never a cut of your back pay.

VA rates strictly on evidence. If your diagnosis, in‑service event, and nexus aren’t clearly tied together, the claim can be denied. We connect the dots with timelines and targeted citations so a rater can see the full picture quickly.

• Basic Record Analysis ($49–79): One condition, timeline, and summary.
• Multi‑Condition Package ($99–149): Up to 3 conditions, checklist included.
• Complete File Review ($199–299): Full C‑file/Blue Button review with strategy roadmap.

Turnaround: 2–5 days. No hidden fees, no back‑pay percentage.

Yes. We have a free starter template, and we also draft customized nexus letters (stronger for your claim) starting at $149, based on your records and claim strategy.

• VA 21‑526EZ – New claim
• VA 20‑0995 – Supplemental Claim (with new evidence)
• VA 20‑0996 – Higher‑Level Review (no new evidence)
• VA 10182 – Board Appeal
• VA 21‑4138 – Statement in Support of Claim (lay statement)
• VA 21‑2680 – Aid & Attendance/Housebound (SMC)

Blue Button lets you download your VA health records (progress notes, labs, meds). These are core evidence. Always grab a copy before filing or appealing so we can cite what matters.

Yes. We’ll map how each condition ties to service, and identify any secondary links (e.g., depression secondary to chronic pain).

Ratings come from 38 CFR Part 4 (VA’s rating schedule). A strong claim shows: 1) current diagnosis, 2) in‑service event/exposure, 3) medical nexus. If any link is missing, denial risk goes up.

Denial: VA reviewed and decided against you. Deferral: VA needs more evidence or exams — it isn’t final.

• Supplemental Claim (20‑0995) – Add new & relevant evidence.
• Higher‑Level Review (20‑0996) – Senior rater takes a fresh look.
• Board Appeal (10182) – Direct review, evidence submission, or hearing.

We’ll recommend the best lane and the exact evidence to add.

Typical initial claims take about 3–6 months. Appeals take longer. Our goal is to reduce back‑and‑forth by submitting focused, well‑organized evidence.

VSO: Free help, often heavy caseloads. Attorneys/Agents: Typically 20–30% of back pay. VetLetters: Fast turnaround, flat fee, 0% back‑pay cut, veteran‑owned. We strengthen the evidence; you choose your representation.

Not always. Sometimes organizing existing records is enough. When needed, we’ll point you to new evidence (updated notes, labs, DBQs, nexus letters) that moves the needle.

A Disability Benefits Questionnaire documents your current level of impairment in VA terms. Private clinicians can complete many DBQs, and VA considers them when properly supported.

We guide you on independent medical opinions, strong lay statements, and C&P exam preparation. We also flag overlooked secondary claims and evidence gaps.
