    The Process

    Seven steps from records to filing packet

    Each step is designed around the actual VA claims process — not a generic checklist.

    Upload Your Records

    Service treatment records, C&P reports, private medical records, buddy statements, DD-214. The more you provide, the more specific the analysis.

    Map Your Service History

    Enter duty stations and deployments. VAI auto-checks for PACT Act burn pit locations, Camp Lejeune, Vietnam, Agent Orange areas, and Gulf War theater — surfacing presumptive conditions you qualify for without proving causation.

    Presumptive detection included

    Confirm Conditions and Find Secondaries

    VAI maps your diagnoses to 38 CFR diagnostic codes and suggests secondary conditions — disabilities caused or aggravated by your primary conditions — which can significantly raise your combined rating.

    Secondary conditions = more rating

    Complete Your Symptom Interview

    Describe symptoms in your own words, then answer targeted follow-up questions on frequency, severity, and functional impact — the exact factors VA raters use.

    Criterion-by-Criterion CFR Analysis

    Each condition is scored against exact VA rating criteria. See what's documented, what's missing, and how conditions interact — including combined rating math and bilateral factor.

    C&P Exam Preparation Scripts

    Review what your examiner will assess, mapped to your conditions. Get personalized scripts from your own interview answers so you describe symptoms accurately under exam pressure.

    Generate Your Complete Filing Packet

    AI-drafted nexus letters for physician review, personal statements (VA Form 21-4138) in your voice, a documentation gap report, and a submission-ready bundle.
